Autumn Chopsticks

Shot along Horton Creek, Tonto Natl Forest, AZ. I originally didn't know if this would work, with the different elements making it a bit busy- but I've grown to like it pretty well. All feedback appreciated especially concerning the blown out rippled water. Is it an image killer to you? I've tried to bring back some detail but I think it is gone. Thanks for looking. :smile:
Nikon D200, Nikon 17-55 2.8, 0.6sec@f16, tripod.

I dunno, the highlights look okay to me, still having some color. Did you paint in some blue there? Speaking of color, I'd reduce the blue saturation a bit in the water. Beautiful composition, with the arcing tree leading my eye back there.

I didn't add any blue other than over-all vibrancy. I can knock it down a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

Very pretty scene Bob with very nice colors. The high lights look ok to me. Maybe a little less blue in the water but very nice scene as is. Nice job on this.

Might go for a little less blue in the water too; just a tad, I think it needs those cool tones. Otherwise a delightful scene with interesting lines and that curved trunk holding things together nicely.
