Lee Vining Creek Cascade + rp

Pretty little cascade with an autumn backdrop. I like this with the cyan and blue saturation backed way off. 

Lee Vining? I would have guessed the Merced just outside the park. Good composition, everything feels balanced. The larger version is considerably better. I would have chose a faster SS but that's just personal preference. Nice job.

I just npticed Harley's comment about the overall blue sense of this. This was likely shot in shadowed light so some warming might be a good idea. The light gives the image a bit of a flat look. Perhaps some luminosity can be added in postprocessing.

Thanks, gents. I backed off on the blue/cyan hue/sat.

Igor: It was very early in the day. In order to get decent depth of field I was pretty much locked-in to the longish exposure in order to place the high values in the water where I wanted them.

Hi  Preston   For  color on the stones.       I    like  the   warmer repost.        but   the   larger original   version   is    very  fine photography that  only  a  4x5  can  give

Fine work, Preston, a beautiful image with wonderful flow for the eye to follow throughout the frame.  The astia film really held the contrast nicely.  You must have been right on the limits of the DOF at f22.5 with the tilt you must have used.  The larger image is really nice with the slightly deeper darks, at least to my eye.  An exquisite image.

The repost is is sweet!  Reducing the blue/cyan makes a big difference.  Excellent composition.  I wish your chosen shutter speed was a bit faster to increase definition in the water but understand the limitations produced due to dim light and ISO with film.

Preston, This is truly a wonderful image. This composition works great and is so very pleasing to view. I love how the water cascades around all the rocks and then that beautiful autumn color makes a perfect background. I actually like the original post the best for just pure viewing pleasure. Not too much cyan at all on my monitor...just a beautiful image!

Preston: A wonderful scene and a superb capture. I prefer the original since I think the subtle blue contrasts nicely with the BG. Marvelous.>=))>

Preston, my preference would be for some of the blue to be added back into the water.  The fall colors make a nice background to the scene.

Preston, I appreciate your composition with the mixture of elements and the multidirectional flow, well anchored by the rocks to my eye. Your first version conveys the atmosphere consistently to me.

Excellent shot. I must be weird cause I like the original post better. I always get comments about the cyan tint of water in my images. I personally prefer that Velvia look. It adds a little coolness.

Really a pleasant composition with great textures and balanced light.

I think I am in the minority, but the comp feels a bit unbalanced to me. The rock seems to be the center point and the cascades too much on the periphery.  Since they are brighter I want to see more of them but my eye is on the edges of the image.  A slightly different angle to include more of the water around the rock would have been my choice, but not being there you might have had limitations I'm not aware of.
