Hi Dave, I really like this one - great colors, nice flow details in the water and the moss on the rock. I wonder if the blues where the rock and water meet need to be toned down a touch.

Dave, I can't tell if it's my eyes or not, but the rock doesn't seem completely sharp to me.
I like the moss, rust color, and the crack in the rock. The little leaf on the rock is a distraction to me though.

Responding to the suggestions above I sharpened the rock, removed the leaf and brought down some of the blue at the rocks base.(in the water) What say you....

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Dave, that looks good to me. Nice work!

Hey Dave,
Repost loks better color wise.....have debated the rock being cut. Since it is cut anyway.....maybe a bit more from the right? I'm guessing you couldn't get the whole rock in?

[Eric Virkler]

Repost looks better. I agree with Roman about the rock being cut. It's cut off too close to what appears to be the end of the rock. If the whole rock is not going to be shown, I think it should be cropped in closer. Not sure why, just a gut feeling. I made an attempt at what I'm talking about. Is this what you're envisioning Roman?

Love the way the water looks in this one. I'm not sure about the rock but the reposts with sharpening do look better. I'm seeing a darker patch in box shape around the rock about mid way vertically and quarter from the bottom. Illusion or something straight casting a shadow not seen in this perhaps?

Cool color Dave. Other stuff covered above.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Yep....I'm thinking Eric nailed the crop I recommended.
