Great Shot Bill, My only nit is the dark branch that comes down from the upper left center. I find it a little distracting. :wavey:

Very nice. I like the soft colors and misty feel to it. Light was handled very well on the water.

Bill,
I like the subdued colors with your processing. I presume the fog also did some of that effect.
The rock in the foreground, in my mind, catches the eye, and the leading line of the stream takes us back into the photo.
The contrast of the black limbs is very effective in augmenting the yellow and orange leaves--good contrast.
I'm not a slow water guy--just me. I wonder if you have a similar photo with less blurring, some--but not as much as you have here, at which to look?

Bill, I especially like the touch of orange color and the branches pointing toward the swollen creek.

Nice capture.

Sweet. The soft water really adds to this.

Hey Bill,
Nice shot, but I'm thinking a selective darkening of the midtones would make this pop more

Excellent detail even through all the mist generated by this powerful flow, Bill. One can almost hear this scene looking at the large water flow and cascade action throughout. :cool:

The soft autumn colors and the haze complement the rushing river very nicely. Personally, the dark branches in the ULHC do not distract my eye. However, I can see how dodging them a little might be worth considering, especially the thicker branch in the extreme ULHC.

Real nice, Bill. The color combined with the graphic branches and soft light make for a very nice image.

Sweet! Definitely bright, but high key works real well with this scene and atmosphere. :toast:

Love how the foliage colors give this an almost rainbow looking effect in the distant mist. In the perfect world I'd prefer this without that branch in the ULC, but this mighty nice as is. Good stuff!

A very well crafted image, Bill. From the comp to the exposure and the processing. All combine to make a superb image! :toast:

Did everyone go to Tremont this Autumn? With all the gorgeous images I'm seeing of Tremont in the gallery, I have to put this on my list of places to see!

This is really special, Bill. The delicate lattice work of branches above the roaring water is a telling contrast. The perspective makes me feel like I'm in the center of an action-packed thriller. :cool: Very enjoyable!
