Cranberry River treasure

From my view it was as if the river had brought these beautiful rocks and laid them at my feet. Comments and suggestions welcome. From 35mm slide film.

The variety of color and texture in the rocks hold my interest very well and the warm / cool contrasts in the water complement the scene very nicely. Beautiful image, Chet!!

I like the color, light, perspective, and comp in this a lot.

Wonderful! The color and sheen on the rocks leads to the gentle reflection. Your scan looks great.

The light on the water is very appealing! I like the natural colors as well. The comp is nice too, though the only critiuqe I can give is there isn't one area of the frame outwardly grabs my attention over another. Perhaps that is by design. I also see a little color noise in the large version that you might look at.

The warm and cool tones work very well in this comp. My only suggestion might be to darken the top most highlights of the water in the top of the image - too much of an eye draw out of the image. The reflected light in the brooks is very soothing and appealing. Nicely seen.
