    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.

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

    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!

    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...

    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.

    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.................

    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...

    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.

    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!
