South Fork Colorado

[Jay Sheinfield]

Early morning , just at sunrise.

Some softening for effect and shadow work on PS. Not sure on the comp, I just happen to like the scene..........

Nikon D3, 44mm f/22 @ 1.3 secs

Thanks for the look...............

Nice exposure and light in this photo. A bit wider view would be better to me.
The water has a nice look to it, not overdone, and the colors are great.
I just would like to see more.

[Jay Gould]

I like the scene too; however, for me too soft. Might you do an RP without the softening and with the lovely slow water?

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Jay......and yet another opinion.....I really like it as is!:eek: The softness you gave works in this case for me......as it minimizes some of the bold elements in the scene. It would be interesting to see a sharp version for comparison.....but I do like the OP very much!

[Dave Mills]

Hi Jay,Nice coloration with even lighting. I'm a bit torn about the boulder on the left blocking the water flow. Not quite sure if it's a plus or a minus but overall it is a pleasing view...

[Robert Amoruso]

Jay,

I like as is but do feel Dave has good point on the large FG rock. It is a bit overpowering.

Would be interested in seeing the sharpened version.

[Jay Sheinfield]

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the feedback.....................here is the sharp version, as requested. I darkened the FG rock to see if that would help ease the distraction.................:S3:

[Dave Mills]

Hi Jay, I like the repost better.IMO the sharpness adds to the image and darkening the rock reduces some of it's dominance.
I might back off on the greens a little bit...

[Susan Candelario]

Good suggestions offered already. I like the repost better than the OP. Perhaps it was your intention to saturated a bit... but the water has a blue cast on the repost. I too like the scene.

[John Storjohann]

Jay, I love this image, particularly the repost. As already mentioned, I might back off the greens in the fir trees a bit, and desaturate the water just a touch...I'd leave the deep saturation of the moss/growth on the far-side rocks. WOW....makes me want to visit Colorado! :S3:
