Went back today. The best one I think.

I think I'd nominate it if not for the twigs in the foreground. Great exposure on the water cascading down though! Love the field of view through the tunnel.

Wow, that really stinks. I never noticed that. It probably isnt the most ethical way of taking pictures, but I cut out quite a few twigs from the ground. This part of the canal is poorly trimmed and it was the only way to get the picture. My camera was on a small tripod on the rocks you see in the bottom corner. I thought I got them all but apparently not. Now that I think about it, I was probably sitting on those twigs holding them out in front of the camera. Ill try it again, and again, and again, and probably still mess it up.

it's a great shot. The twigs are a bit of an annoyance, can you clone them out?

Pruning is a requirement of photography

It's a lovely shot though

Bambi, I probably could and will give it a go tonight. Ill post the results.

Ok, hopefully this is good enough for MA. Thanks for the suggestion Bambi, I probably would have just gone back and retaken the shot. This does save some time.
