I took this image along the Snake River from the Oregon side of the road looking across into Idaho. The calm waters allowed for great reflections between Oxbox and Brownlee Dams, also you can see Rocky Mountain Goats, Bighorn Sheep, and a multitude of Rattlesnakes long the Snale beginning at Oxbow in Oregon, to the Hells Canyon Dam in Idaho and Oregon, and the Brownlee Dam in Idaho. The rock formations along the Snake are among the oldest known rocks in Oregon and Idaho, and their coloring are beautiful as you can see in my workshop.
Have a Merry Christmas All...

Steve,
great reflections of these golden colors. The symmetry is perfect and I even have the impression that you tilted the shot by 180 degrees :-)
Cheers, Peter

Hello Steve,
Beautiful capture of this mountain and his lake where the reflexes are perfect. Marvellous colors and contrasts. Good work.
Cordialmente

Hi Steven,
What an amazing work!! Most people would get a nothing shot in this area of harsh, flat light. You, on the other hand have electric clarity of your colors and impeccable sharpness. The true genius is the framing: the crossing diagonals of the power lines and the road wending its way down to the river are repeated in in the stunning reflection.
HLJ, Pat

Hi Steve,
Beautiful image of the arid hills of eastern Oregon making a striking reflection in the deep blue waters of this wonderful western river. Very clear crisp colors and excellent details and sharpness to this lovely composition.
Regards, Tom
