I like the SS a lot and your PP has a painterly feel to it.
Close to OOTB, but still believable as a natural image.
I might tone down the rocks a bit.

Hi Cheryl, lovely work. The yellows in the water are awesome and I like how you positioned the flow of the water within the comp. I agree with Dan on toning down the rock a smidgen. I will typically use Viveza for such tasks and sometimes increase the structure slider for the rocks too.

Thanks, Dan for your comments. (I really do belong in OOTB) I'll do a rework real quick and see if I can improve it.

Hi Cheryl, almost there...if you reduce the contrast a little closer to that of the original post I think you will have it. Aren't these types of rapids great...I can spend hours and hours exploring the photographic possibilities that they have to offer.

Hi Cheryl, I am with Andrew. It still has a painterly feel to it. But that is not bad. I might go a bit further and make it an OOTB type image. Just my 2 cents.

Grady, the "painterly" thing is in my blood I guess.

I like this, Cheryl. Lovely colours and flow (good SS choice).
I do feel that there's a grittiness to the image that's gotten more pronounced as you did reposts. Your last "fuller frame" image has a better feel in terms of that (not as "gritty") - hope it makes sense?
I would soften some of the fine contrast here and also tone down the brights on the rocks and water just a wee bit.
Keep them coming!

Hi Cheryl, I like the last repost best...now that I have seen the original capture if you crop it similarly to the original post I would not take quite as much off the left side. Can't wait to see more

Stunning composition, the golden blured water flowing at the bottom of the frame is beautiful. Agree with Morkel, rocks look gritty.

Nice image for sure with great colors and lots of nice movement. I personally prefer the OP to all the reposts but feel somewhere in the middle of the two would be perfect.

Cheyl,agree with Morkel and Vivaldo the rocks loook a bit gritty, only a small bit. Like the golden colors. I think similar effects can be obtained with filters ND. An italian naturephographer (living in Sweden)published a book about 'colors of the water. If you're interested, since\ he's very disposable, i'll write you what he had used. Hi.

Hey Cheryl,
I don't mind the over the top colors.....since no one mentioned it....I eyed a pano crop ....just below the 2 large rocks at 2 o'clock.....I like the diagonal it makes! Just a thought as you hae gotten some excellent other suggestions above.

Thanks, John, for taking the time to improve it. I like what you did and I'll go back and rework it. I'm working on the images from that trip now as a matter of fact
