    Hi John, Very interesting image! Good framing of all the key elements with a realistic handling of the HDR process. Being a bit tight on the left doesn't bother me along with the rock merges but I would have liked to have seen a bit more water on the bottom.
    This scene lends itself to different views and I hope you worked it...

    Hey John,
    I think you composed this nicely and like Dave, I too would like a bit more room for the water flow......but not a deal breaker. I do think the UR area looks like it has almost a vignette.....that often helps an image but in this case....draws my eye a bit too much. I think smoothing that out in tonality will help take this up another notch. Nicely done overall!

    Thanks for the feedback, there is another car to the left so I had to be tight. I will remove the vignette and see if I can open up the bottom a little, I can't remember how much room there is down there.

    John, Dave and Roman summed it up well. To me the image looks somewhat unsharp. I know that sometimes when you link externally that can be it. If not some additional sharpening is in order. In particular the LL rock. I am thinking that due to the framing and closeness of the rock, you might be past the near focus limit.

    Happy New Year!
