Jewels of the Chehalis

Very cool image. I really like the low perspective. Minor nit: the partial rock on the right of the frame is a bit distracting.

Nice FG element, I'd consider cropping from the right a little to remove that rock protruding into the frame. Also the trees in the URHC seem a bit soft, perhaps due to distortion from the wide-angle. Love the cool blue tones on the rocks and the dusting of snow, really emphasizes the frigidness of the scene and the feel of winter approaching.

Dean,

Excellent perspective and viewpoint - it's as if you are below the water level to capture this. Hope the tripod leg is ok....

Nice job with the exposure range, although with 4 exposures I'm wondering if you could have tamed the sky a little bit more? Great that you've retained color and it's not washed out, but still a little bright.

I really like the emerald green of the river, but I am wondering about the color as it runs over the rocks at the bottom. Seems to be quite bit of purple/blue in there. If you could neutralize the colors there this will be quite nice.

I agree with the comments and I like your viewpoint
Excellent work.

Trying to figure out why this hasn't received more posts. A very nice composition and I like the low perspective. There does seem to be a little bit of a color cast in the FG, but I suspect that's just caused by reflection.

Very fine comp, Dean. Far right intruding rock is a b it obvious on an edge, but it's a bit hard to know what to do with it. Nice blending of light and depth.

Nice use of the foreground rocks Dean. Also like the hint of snow on the trees.

Is this location near Harrison Hot Springs? Have you been into the Chahalis by any chance?

Very nice comp. Also i like the snowfrosted trees...

A very beautiful comp, Dean. I love those FG rocks along with your low POV. I also just noticed the dusting of snow in the trees; also very nice. My only suggestion; and this is just a personal preference; would be to crop or clone out that partial rock on the right edge of the frame.

Thanks for everyones comments.I know I should get rid of the rock on the edge and will probably clone it out or just crop it. Adam, this is definitly near Harrison. I tried to go up Harrison west but there was construction and icy conditions so I turned around to explore along the Chehalis River. I'm based out of Chilliwack so this isn't too far away.Cheers,Dean.
