Beautiful landscape, Layton

just needed a a little punch,(usm) and slight crop on top, hope you do not mind...

Hi Layton, beautiful view of Oxbow Bend. I like Peter's rendition since the contrast boost gave the image more dimension. The crop is also effective.
Two areas that I feel would have helped the image is a clearer reflection and more even lighting on the foreground.

Hey Layton,
I like the different view of the time of year and composed nicely. I am OK w/o the mirror reflection but am curious as to why the ISO 800 choice.....was it hand held? I think you can bring up some subtle details in the FG before a contrast boost and this will help bring some needed detail in there. I think a crop isn't a bad idea....just maybe not as tight as Peter went on that top cloud. All in all nicely composed of this classic scene!

[Layton E Parham]

Thank you all, for your help. Yes Roman it was hand held.

[Robert Amoruso]

Great composition Layton. THe Local Contrast Enhancement was the touch it needed. Have a good time.
