The story behind this image

This shot shows a typical view looking along the West Fork of Oak Creek, near Sedona in Arizona.

The 'signature' colours of red, green and blue that, for me, represent this part of Arizona, are much in evidence, and the relationship between these colours form the backbone of this composition.

What I can't convey in this photo is the sound of the birds, the smell of the pines and the wonderful feel of the cool creek water washing over my tired feet. What a place!

But I hope that something of the beauty and atmosphere of this canyon comes across in this and the other images presented here.
