A small scene with great light up a creek in the Remutakas.
I was actually super lucky to be able to capture this as it is because I shot this spot the day before and only realised once I was home the slight amount of motion blur in the image. So I went out at the same time the next day and the light and the shape the water made in the foreground was the same! The water levels rise and drop often so I was very lucky to get a second chance.

Love this shot, Michael - that dreamy atmosphere of that golden light, and just the right blur in the foreground water to look dynamic and yet soft. And the composition is excellent. I do think your watermark, a bit bold and smack in the middle, detracts from the effect significantly.
