People In Nature

I was on a road trip photographing waterfalls when I was able to capture this shot at the bottom of Mirror Lake Falls in Arkansas. Some young women were playing in the water while I was there getting set up and one decided to have a seat on the rock that I was planning on making a focal point of my photo. Luckily she was sitting still enough to capture this as a 1 second exposure. I did alter the color of her shirt in photoshop (changed it from green to pinkish) to make her stand out just a little bit more. Later on, when they were done, I did make sure to introduce myself and thankfully they were ok with me having taken it because it's probably my favorite shot from that location. Her being in the shot just added some good story elements and something unique to the scene.
