Love the detail but I especially love the depth of color. Velvia really adds to some shots wonderfully well, and this is one of them.

I LOVE shooting Velvia50! This was (of course) 120, but even in 35mm it still looks great. The colors, the saturation the fact that you get back something you can hold in your hands and look at with no computer. I could go on...

If I may ask a creative question, wouldn't you typically want a greater DOF on a shot like this? (I.E. shoot at f11-f16?)

Good question...If I had been thinking about DOF, I would have stopped down to f8 or f11. But I was thinking about how to not have my tripod (and camera) as well as me fall off the rock where I was setup into the creek! Once I got it composed correctly, it was fire the shutter and get myself (and my toys) off the rock.
I also would have used the GND filter I had just purchased and had in my gadget bag (if I had been thinking, which it seems I was not). It was a good learning opportunity for me. The lesson is situational awareness and being cognisant of what tools I have at my disposal to create the best image.

Gotcha : ) Just wanted to know if it was intentional or not. I don't often find myself in a position to take such shots and want to be prepared when I do
