This was a photograph that found me! I was leaning over a 15’ drop into a stream when the sunbeam dropped down on this amazing stretch of water. Four quick exposures.
Any and all

Nicely seen, John! Love the colors and patterns created by the light.
Oh this is cool. I get the sense that light is falling down into the scene and creating those ripples - blue to blue - if that makes any sense. It looks a tiny bit noisy to me, but that could be haze. Also I’d clone out the fern leaf (?) poking in from the left. Nicely seen and I like the colors very much.
Thank you to you both. @Kris_Smith , the two ideas for corrections, cloning and de-noise, are. both appreciated and done—good improvements! The light was so strange with the sun beams actually being visible only IN the water. Truly one of the magical moments we all have experienced at one time or another in some way or another.
