A beige rock is a beige rock, no? There's tons of different colored rocks around there and in reality, I specifically composed to include said offending rock, because I felt it added a bit of color to an otherwise rather colorless image. :-)
When I look at the photo I see the rock, but my eye is drawn to the point that the the water is impacting the rocks at the center of the scene and splashing upwards, and then my eye drifts down to the lower right hand corner following the general flow of the water. I can go back and retake the photo, but it won't be the exact same water molecules. ;-) Thanks for the alternate crop suggestions.
