Really nice, Craig. The FG water is especially interesting. I've never seen this spot. Is it before or after the cobblestone bridge? devil

Thanks Michael. This is a bit downstream of the bridge, just around a bend, if I recall correctly.

I really like how the geometric perspective works together with the tonality gradient - everything comes at you at the same time!

This is a beauty, Craig. Your SS choice created some wonderful textures in the water and I especially like that one rock that the water is spilling over. I had taken an image two years ago of this same section of the stream only I was a bit more to the left. I could also see this just a bit brighter, but that is just a personal choice. Either way this is gorgeous.

Craig, this is nicely composed. I really like the way that the water fans out in the foreground and stretches for the corners. The texture in the water looks really nice as well. I would recommend brightening the dark tones a bit in the background. The bright stream pulls my eyes to the background, but I kind of get lost in all of the deep shadows.

Craig, I like this scene very much. Your comp is really nice and the water looks great to me...I like the flowing motion around the rocks a lot. In the larger version it looks very good as is, but I could also see brightening the background just a bit more. Wonderful work on this!

Craig, water going over scalloped edges of a rock is nice, and this image has it. Nice shutter speed for my tastes too.
