Nottawasaga River

We have been having a rather wet summer so far in south-central Ontario. The Nottawasaga River is a long river that winds its way through the countryside and out into Georgian Bay on Lake Huron. The river intersects several of the rural roads around my home. I captured this image of the swollen and muddy river from a bridge on a slightly stormy day. Looking on the bright side, all the rain is keeping the greenery very lush :)

Looking forward to comments and suggestions.

This is definitely a muddy river. The dark sky and lush green contrast with one another nicely.

Blue and brown look very good together, Andrew. The sky also mimics the river very well in terms of shape and also texture. I am a little torn about the greens. It looks a little garish for me but I always have a hard time shooting greens outside the golden hour period. I would love to hear what others recommendation on that.

Hi Andrew

It does look very Lush..! It's more like I expect to see in a Queensland rain forest... Its a simple image that well constructed IMHO Andrew. My only suggestion is to knock back the reflection on the water a little. I don't feel the green is over done...
