Please view LARGE for detail!

I just got back from my annual fall photo trip in the Smokies. By the time I left this morning, I could already see some snow flurries. Guess I got my Fall photos just in time. :biggrin:

This image is probably my favorite of the batch so far, but we'll see if my preferences change as I process more. I'll be posting others to my FB page and personal website in the days to come.

I would love to hear what others think about this image. Thanks!

Very appealing fall image - nice water and great fall colours. Leaves me wondering, though, what was on top that got cut off ino this unusual crop..

Nice shot Joseph. That must have been you I saw standing on that rock the other day. Good job finding a nice comp in the last gasp of Fall. Great to meet you also.

This is really nice, Joseph. Really like the balance of light here and the way the color in the trees has covered the rocks as well. It makes for a very coherent image.

Great work in my opinion, Joseph. You draw my attention by the dynamics of the flow and lead me o the tranquillity of the beautiful autumn foliage. All these diverse elements work together in an appealing way for me.

Nice! I like this quite a bit. You did well with the motion you've captured in the stream, the view upstream, and the nice color surrounding the stream. Great work!

A great looking fall scene, Joseph. I like all the leaf covered rocks and the background is especially appealing to me. Love the feel and mood. Nice work!

Nicely done Joseph. Nice color and I really like the sprinkling of leaves on the rocks. Nice shutter speed as well.
