Liked the way the water flowed over the rocks. Not sure about the green in the FG, but decided to leave it in for a small boost of color.

This looks like it could be the Alluvial Fan, John, which was one of my daughter's favorite play spots in RMNP when we visited her grandpa in Estes Park. You've got a good sense of flow in the water with your ss choice. I like the main clump of green, but could see cloning out the four stems that are in front of the lighter rock. I also like how everything angles across the frame. The water seems a bit blue to me. Oh yeah, rocks make great emergency camera stabilizers.

I agree with Marks suggestions John, but an excellent capture.

As Mark already mentioned, the water seems a bit blue but that's easily fixed. I really like the diagonal comp you chose as well as the SS. The highlights in the cascade in the LRC do seem a bit blown but that also is likely easily fixed or at least tamed. I like the sprigs of green as it adds a pop of color.
