This image is interesting, because when I first looked at it, I thought the water was flowing towards the viewer, but realized that it was the opposite when I focused on the bottom half of the image, a bit of a optical illusion :cool: Everything seems balance, the green is quite nice. The dark patch in the upper left corner is drawing my eye, can it be adjusted for exposure? Also, the brown dead tree in the upper right of the image could "turn green" with a selective color adjustment :biggrin:

I like this a lot Scott, very nice greens, not overdone, I like to see a small crop on top but this is minor, excellent.

Very nice Scott. I really like the water and a real feeling of spring here with the fresh looking green leaves.

this is a wonderfully soft image, and by that I mean, it doesn't scream look at me, , just enjoy me. know what I mean? I like the greens but perhaps just a touch less saturation? that's my perspective of course. great image!

Nice peaceful image. I like the waterflow. Just enough white water.
