Sprinkler & Sun
Lens: DA40 Limited Camera: K-x Photo Location: Gunnison, Co ISO: 200 Shutter Speed: 1/250s Aperture: F8

The old woman whose garden I often admire and sometimes shoot had her sprinklers running this morning when I passed by on my bike. The light filtering through the aspen (with new leaves for very bright greens) just looked so surreal through the water that I had to stop for a few frames.
I did pretty basic/minimal processing. Some fill light, bump in the blacks, and +12 saturation. This is what it looked like.
