Swift Patterns

One more from the Swift River in NH. I got some great light reflected off the fall foliage onto the shaded river. I liked the zigzag shape of the whitewater here. I look forward to any and all comments!

Craig I really love the streaks in the smooth water along with the rich golden browns here. It looks like brush strokes in a nice painting.

Real nice stream intimate, Craig. I might clone the little area of gold in the ULC. Other than that small nit, it works very well. Hope you have a nice Holiday season.

The smooth flow here is wonderful, and the reflected Autumn light adds a nice dimension. Your processing looks spot-on to me. Nicely done!

This is a lovely intimate waterscape, Craig. I love the detail you captured in the water and the reflected autumn color is absolutely gorgeous. Great eye to spot this gem.

Nice with the oranges and browns. A crop alternative would be to use the top 2/3 for a strong horizontal flow.

The composition with diagonals and triangles works nicely with the dynamic aspects of the flow. Lovely colours too.

Very nice Craig. The colors are beautiful and and textures are great, so well taken and processsed. I think I personally prefer this with the darker band across the bottom cropped.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable abstract view, Craig. The sense of motion is great and your placement of the rocks as well as their colors angling across the frame look perfect.

Craig,

Rocks, water, trees.... love them all. ;-) I seek out intimate little stream shots like this and I wish I had found this one. Love everything about this one. Well balanced between the flow of the water, the white water, the submerged rocks and texture in the water. Oh, great color too. The two orange/gold colored rocks in the middle really focus the eye, yet still it's easy to move around and explore the rest of the frame.

Personal preference, but that orange could be a little strong? But hardly worth mentioning.

No other nits or suggestions. Beautifully seen and captured.

Lon
