Thanks folks. There's actually not a whole lotta pshop here. ISO200, 1/90 at f/5.6, handheld with 28-135 IS at 95 mm. It is contrast masked, with levels adjusted on both layers. Background has had curves adjusted somewhat. It's been sharpened and cropped a bit. Oh I think I used a new action to settle down the noise, which is considerable at ISO200. There was nothing done to this image that wasn't done to all of it, and it is all one image. I never thought about it before, but I.m guessing that the mechanical behavior of water IS fractal. That's probably what attracts me so much... I did all of it to make it look like what I remember, but punchier. I am wondering if it is too contrasty now? Phrankpower, who are the Bryce people? Sue
