Very nice image. I likde the slow shutter speed to give the stream of movement. From my personal perspective I would have used the "burn tool" to darken some of the lght areas in the upper part of the image.

Bill,

This is a very lovely and peaceful scene. I too love the texture and flow of the stream. The composition is a little off for me though. The main interest of the stream is packed on the left side and the stream flows out to the left a little away from the center. If it were mine, I might be tempted to crop for a not-see-too-often vertical pano. The dry creek bed in the lower right and the rocks without moss are mildly distracting. It's not an image killer really, just my thoughts on the comp; I love the stream and the flow and just find the lower right taking away from it. I think a vertical pano could just be considered an alternate version. Just a thought. Love the color and the soft light.

Nice colors and details. You did a good job with the exposure and getting the water flow nicely.
I love the Smoky Mountains with the roaring fork one of my favorite places.

I love the nice rounded shapes of the mossy boulders. Nice job on the water.

Like the scene quite well and the way the green rocks let me walk upstream. Maybe a bit too much textureless space a the bottom, but that's certainly a personal preference.
