South St. Vrain Creek Close-Up

I went out for a day of shooting in bad weather, and only really got partway to my original destination of Rocky Mountain NP before turning around in a snowstorm. But on the way, I tried out my new tripod on the edge of South St. Vrain Creek and used a 10 stop ND filter to get this detail shot.
