Foggy Morning on the Petawawa River

A foggy August morning on the Petawawa River in a remote area of Ontario's Algonquin Provincial Park. I do wish I could have gone a touch wider but could not...guess I need to buy a wider lens :)

Look forward to comments and suggestions.

Three suggestions: Print. Frame. Hang on wall -- or in a gallery!

Seriously, it is just lovely! Wonderful atmospheric perspective with the cool-toned mist in the trees and a clear FG with warmer tones. It's wide enough for me -- nothing screams to be further from the edges, but on closer look I might touch out the one small stream of water at the left edge.

This is sooo nice.
I love the sense of motion created in the trees.
I would personally have liked a bit more room at the bottom and RHS but that is a minor issue in an otherwise lovely frame!

It has a very dreamy feel Andrew.. well done.. I agree with Gail (and you..) on more below the fall and to the right.. (Maybe a stitch would have worked??)

Hi Andrew - A beautiful scene and I love the blurred water. Agree about a bit more room below. If it were mine I would reduce the cyans and darken the greens as I find the trees competing with the falls. I prefer the falls as the main draw of the image. Of course, you may not.

TFS,

I like the close-up view of the falls, complemented by the cooler colour tones and the varying degrees of fog through the image.
Very nice, Andrew...composition is fine for me - nice simplicity in the image.

Nice Andrew, the SS is just right, I might even try to lower the contrast more on the trees for a foggier look.

Thanks folks much appreciate the kind words and suggestions...Dan I will explore your suggestion for the foggier look...also I was really wanting a bit more room on the bottom and the left side as others suggest. One of the features I really did not like here and tried to minimize in the composition was that much of the river bank here is lined with piled up boulders that lumberjacks placed along the banks to aid the logs that would have been floated downriver in the early 1900's.
