Beautiful and refreshing location Ricardo. I love the water color in the pool just upstream, and the cool gray color of the rocks. There's a lot of space in the URC that doesn't have a whole lot of interest in it, so I wonder if a vertical composition might have been more "full"?

Very peaceful place and great textures mate. The diagonal placement of the stream works very well.

Very well composed Ricardo. I like how dynamic the composition is - and the water treatment helps to convey that dynamic. Colors light and processing looks appealing too.

Very beautiful. I particularly like the greens and the swirl of the middle pool. I think Floris has a good idea with regard to a vertical composition, in case you have any of those (or in the event you return to the location).

Much as I like the entire composition, it's the feeling of suspension between above and below the water of the fore and midground that holds my interest and might stand on its own.

Ricardo,

Looks like a little found paradise in Patagonia. I really like the lush forest greens up top and the flow of the stream all the way through to the bottom. Only suggestion would be some added contrast on the lower half of the image. The top looks perfect, but for some reason - and it could just be an illusion, the bottom looks ever so slightly cloudier than the top, if that makes sense. Not an image killer and I still really like this. Excellent comp, beautiful scene.

The composition and depth are nice, but I wonder how this would look with the rocks darkened by rain.
