I did like your previous post but i prefer this one. This still retains some of the mist and mystery but to my eye a more interesting comp, there's more going on. While the last one had nice atmosphere, personally I found the expanse of water too dominating. Both nice images though.

This makes me feel close to the action and I can almost hear the sound of the rushing water. I like the foggy and misty conditions. I would recommend boosting the saturation a smidge in the greens - not too much but the color looks a little flat.

I prefer the repost with more vibrance and life in the trees. Love the wet feel of this landscape...just like Oregon in the winter!

Nice shot Danny. Love the misty atmosphere. The water sure looks choppy and the conditions cold! I prefer the natural look of the original sat.

This is, by far, my favorite of your McKenzie images. Actually, there's nothing I don't like about this - it really puts me in the mood and into the scene. Nicely done Danny.

Danny, You really captured the feel of this morning in this shot, and it is really nice! I prefer the original post as it seems to work better with the conditions of that morning for me. Nice work!

Danny, your image conveys the atmosphere of this scene impressively to me.
