Very nice composition. I like the FG rock and the slow SS effect on the water. TFS

Hi Jay, nicely framed with a good foreground element. I like the soft, early light which looks like it's creeping down the rear of the image. Nice flow in the water with good detail. Two things...first, I would of wished for a bit more room on the rt and finally I would clone out the small yellow area of leaves in the mid far left. Overall nicely done!

Jay, the colors and textures in this are stunning...and as someone who enjoys trout fishing, I see at least two or three little pools I'd be tempted to cast into once or twice. I would have liked a little bit more on the top, to give the dominant tree on the right and the rock bluffs a bit of breathing room, as well as a bit more on the right as Dave mentioned...but with or without my wish list this is a keeper. Did you use Topaz on this at all?

Great photo, your SS was perfect to me, I over do water all the time and most shots I see are at a too slow speed for my tastes.
Yours looks artistic and realistic at the same time. I assume you lightened the FG rock, a very nice detail, and the light in the BG is very nice also
Well done.

Thanks everyone, good feedback................will attempt more room on the right, and perhaps the top.

Hey Jay,
I actually like the flow of this as presented! My only recommendation is to tone down the two brightest areas mentioned.....so they don't draw the eye as much. Not a big tone down.....but just enough to keep the eye from being pulled there. All in all a minor tweak to a very nice image!

Jay - nice light and comp. The blurred water looks great. Some good suggestions above to make an already great image even better.

TFS,
Rachel

Well done for the reasons mentioned above. I would have liked to see this at 28mm or 35mm. It feels just a bit tight to me.

Hi Jay, I like this as presented. The flow is perfect. Like Robert, I wouldn't mind seeing this a little wider also, but this still a lovely comp as is.
