Running Hard

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 28, 2011269 views9 comments

This creek was running hard in the Greenbriar area of the Great Smokies in North Carolina -- 4/16/11. It had rained all night the previous night. The wind was also blowing big time - so there are a few leaves moving, even in the lulls.

I can almost hear it Wick. Spring is so pretty out East.

Wick, this really says spring. The water looks great and all the new green leaves are wonderful. This sure does make me wish I was there. Nice work.

A fine image, Wick. Greenbrier was flowing pretty crazy when I was there in October too, I really like that portion of the park! I like the cool water and good shutter speed.

Great scene and the water looks perfect. Looks like a challenging place to photograph. Well done.

This looks like a beautiful location. I really like the detail that you have captured in the water. I can almost hear the sound of the rushing water. I like the subtle variation in color in the foreground. The fallen branch kind of interrupts the flow of the composition a little, but that is just a minor nit in what is an otherwise enjoyable photo.
