While hiking the Horton Creek Trail, of Arizona's Tonto National Forest of Arizona, I found this lovely area of the creek that drew me in and kept me on location for many hours. I sat and watched the leaves float by while the sun moved overhead, constantly changing the lighting of the scene. After awhile the lighting changed to a point I could no longer ignore it, and I was in awe of this shadowed scene, being colorfully and brightly reflected upon, by a sunlit scene out of view. I waited for the next big breeze to launch some new leaves of various color upon the water, and then shot this moment with a slow shutter to accentuate not just the colored reflections, but also the colored trails of the various leaves as they floated through the fast current.
