The reflected light here makes for a gorgeous scene. The shutter speed works well to convey the motion of the water, and the color is killer.

Beautiful color in this, and I especially like the flow in the FG.

Beautiful light! I'd crop about an inch from the top. Nice job.

Excellent image. I really like your composition and would not change a thing. The S curve created by the small rocks on the edge of the stream at the top, add to the scene IMO. Here in the east we generally have to wait for fall foliage along the river bank to get this kind of color. Well done.

This is a really beautiful photograph, Russell. My only suggestion, that echos another, is to crop down from the top, but NOT as much as suggested, only enough to get down to the puckerbrush in the upper right. That way, that nice S element in the upper left will be preserved, but I think it will serve to keep your viewer's eye down where the meat of the photograph is.

Lovely textures and colours. Maybe I would crop out the upper part of the image and focus the attention of the nice foreground textures and the midground rocks. A pano could be great. The image is great already, but it seems to me the upper part, full of detail, competes too much with the rest of the image, where subtlety and great textures are. Very Well done Russell...

Nice shot.. I love the reflection! Makes it really intense.

Spectacular reflection. The right side w/o the orange reflection is a little less interesting. I'm wondering about either cropping it or maybe burning it down a little to keep the eye from straying there. I'd keep exploring this place at sunset. The light is fantastic.

there are amazing light & colors

well done

Russell,

The quality of light is fantastic and the reflected color is beautiful too. I also like your chosen shutter speed - long enough to let the immediate water in the foreground "flow" and yet short enough that the white water didn't develop any clipped areas. Just the right balance of everything here. This is terrific.

I could go with Margo's crop suggestion, but a minor point for me.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the feedback. I actually had another version of this with the crop that many suggested, but second guessed my first choice and posted the wider frame. It's good to know those first instincts may be the best ones. Thanks to Tony's encouragement, I'll probably spend more time watching the sun set in this canyon.
