River's Edge

The form and subtle coloring here is wonderful, there is almost an antique feel to this image. The Gila can be so dramatic in places, but this is such a calm scene. Love this John.

The intricate textures embraced with a lovely glow is very appealing.
This is a fabulous image.

Love the lighting here. The grasses and trees are well balanced here.

I really like this image very much with its calm and peaceful in mood. The dappled light kissing these comforting textures add much...

Very nicely done. I love the soft light in this photograph.

Great shot, John. What a sweet light and subtle tones in the grass.

The grass textures are really nice. I like how the trunk and branches lead you to similar textures at the tops of the trees.

The lacelike textures in the grasses and brush are marvelous John. I like the pastel colors and light as well. Beautiful work.

Very elegant! The light is very interesting too - I like the golden tones and this is backlit (?).

Very dreamy and mysterious. I love the earth tones that dominate this image.

Wow, this is really a fantastic image John. Can't stop looking at it...love everything about it.

A very lovely, soft scene John.

Great warmth to the image John. I like all the textures that the foliage provides. Nice work.

I think this one is intriguing. The light and understated colors make for a different kind of shot.

This is so beautiful, John, that it almost doesn't look like a photograph. What a great picture to hang on the wall. It doesn't demand attention, but commands it none the less. Well done!

I like the soft colors and the detail.

Beautiful, John. Really like the soft light and a great sky, too.

Awesome! Wonderful image, John. That light is marvelous.

Beautiful image, John. I love the earthy pastel coloring and painted look to the image.

I like this a lot John, the colours are very appealing and the sharpness is spot on,

Gary.

This is a very engaging shot John, with wonderful layers of subtle color and great texture. This is the kind of image I just love to explore and find little details here and there.

Very nice John, love the paintery feel to this one. Great work.

another fabulous image, John! love the colors here and detail, comp as well. very painterly. don´t know why, but this has an Africa feel to it. maybe it´s the colors and vegetation, don´t really know. I know this is awsome and that´s for sure.... !

Bruno, Although I didn't think of that myself, I've gotten that same comment at work and from a friend. There must be some overlap with a lot of the photos we see of African vegetation! Maybe it's the mistletoe in the cottonwoods?

I don´t really know, John.... ! I lived in Cape Town for about 11 years till I came to Azores with my parents. I think it maybe related to the colors, yellows/reds and gold, trees and weads. Man, I just saw some chilhood memories when looking to this image and believe me, I looked for a while. Once again, great comp John and thanks for "taking" me to the past.

Great textures and subtle lighting. Wonderful capture!

You captured some sweet light here. The tone of the trees and grasses creates a wonderful mood. Nice work.
