Cave Stream
Just down the road from Castle Hill along SH73, a glimpse of Cave Stream just in front of the entrance to the cave itself (though not in the image). We wanted to go through the cave but wading in icy water without wetsuit didn't appeal to us. The cave stream made more than up for it as you can see. The low-ish mid afternoon sun was lighting up the rocks which then reflected in the stream and in the little puddle next to it. Due to the big difference between lights and darks, I struggled to expose properly as I also wanted to do a long exposure. Hence in pp I had to reduce the highlights and lift the shadows. Overall I think it came out as a pleasing image.
