Big Chico Creek Close to Home

I discovered a while ago that my home up in Chico is almost right next to Big Chico Creek. I walked to this location in about two minutes from my house and found a wonderfull little photographer's perch in the form of a big forked tree right near the water line. I took about 12 different versions of this image with differing angles, shutter speeds, appiture sizes, and all the while the sun was quickly going down. This one was my favorite. I took the picture with the thought of maniping it for a friend.
