Five Pebbles

Sunset on the Fraser River. The light was very intense, but there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

I liked the way the pebbles stood out and the "wave" of the shore line. Is there too much river?

The river has enough detail, color, and transition going on that it ties together the two main points of interest in the image; so I don't think there's too much river. Beautiful light on the shore and interesting formations there.

The light is great an I like a lot the pebbles, light and rocks on the FG. I don´t think there´s too much river, however I think that a lower angle compressing some of the midground would be better for this type of composition. Anyways, great photo.

Very peaceful scene and great color on the sand. Nicely done.

I really like the light hitting the foreground and colours in the water. I don't think that there's too much river, but perhaps there is not enough sky. Hard to say for sure though.

You really handled the light well and I love the perspective--straight down at the bottom of the frame and horizontal at the top. Real nice.

I think you've done an excellent job handling the dynamic range in this! Love that light!
