A winter river detail image from last Friday, after a brief snowfall that melted away just as quickly. I used my 'waterfall setting' in Topaz BW Effects for this one.
I keep looking at this, Andrew. I love the melting snow/ice crystals and the way you've presented the reflection and movement of the water below. Really nice.
Excellent composition, Andrew. I love it! The diagonal of the snow shelf and the colors of the melting crystal makes it very appealing. I am thinking there could be another alternative in making the water smooth. Beautiful processing!
Hi Andy ! .......I I love these kind of images. I have been doing similar detail photos as a project for a few years now ( not this one ) near a small creek Creek near where I live. This is really really nice. That blue edged ice is perfect and contrasts beautifully with a smooth blue water ( I like the suggestion made to somehow make the water even smoother). The only thing that bothers me just a bit is the crunchy white ice....it is too much of something. Still.....great work and hope to see more!
Hi Andrew; nice job of seeing this image! I like Indranil's suggestion of maybe smoothing the grain/texture in the background a bit...for me, it distracts from the textures you've captured so beautifully in the snow and ice, competing for attention. Great composition and color. Nicely done!
