This has a rugged yet somber feel. The reflections in the meandering stream tie this together nicely. :cool:

Beautiful Eva. It does take you back there again doesn't it. Love the inverted red rays of sunrise and the reflected light in the oxbow. Definitely best in Large view too.

The colors are wonderfully soft and the river bend adds some fine foreground interest and some great reflections. I've been going back and forth about cropping half of the grassy area below the river. There are some fine details there in the larger version, but the crop adds some additional emphasis to the river...
