I took many shots down onto this rock platform hoping to arrest this image of the water sloughing from the oval rock equally on all sides. I knew the composition was good and fixed it on my tripod, but the vagaries of water effects meant it was necessary to take many frames of many wave surges hoping one would achieve an even flow. I love the contrast between the dense orange and brown rock and the playful white water. The central rock could speak of a hard-worn heart, at the centre of things.

Taken on Asahi Pentax 6/7. 105mm lens, 100 ASA Ektachrome film. Aperture F16.
