The Cameron River, NWT - one of my favorite places to photograph. This one was taken on September 11, 2009. We are well into fall by mid-sept here. I am still trying to get this post processing thing down, lol. Let me know what you think.

I echo Tony's comment about the crop. The swirls and blurs at the very bottom, while interesting, don't really add to the scene that you've tried to capture and I would consider cropping about 1/2 of the pool at the bottom. The colors and the processing seem pretty good, although it's often hard to tell with these posted sizes. What I find most interesting is the perspective and viewpoint where it looks and feels like we're viewing the water flow at eye level (which could very well be since water runs down hill....
On a side note, I would encourage you to post a few more comments on other folks images. I know everyone appreciates the comments.

Thanks again.
Lovely cool colours here! I like your viewpoint across the falls--unusual. I also appreciate the silky water. I agree a crop from the bottom would keep my attention on those parts of the image that drew my attention, and perhaps even a teeny crop from the left.
Also, I know how you feel about offering up a critique. When I first joined, I felt reluctant to offer any compliments or critiques. But the great thing about NPN is that it is a supportive learning environment, and we are only offering our opinions after all. The photographer can take away what he or she will. Those who wish to grow as artists benefit the most from respectful critiques.
So jump in!
