Beautiful. I like everything about this one, Michael. This is one of my favorites now. Great fall image with wonderful color and a really nice comp. This is a place I would like to be. Nice work.

reat detail and depth in this one. Maybe a little too symetrical with the river right in the middle, but the jog to the left helps. On my monitor it looks a little flat, especially in the ground area on the right. A little more contrast might help. I didn't realize AZ had forest s like this-an eye opener for me.

All around excellent image, Michael. The depth to the beginning or entrance of the stream in the BG to the FG left hand exit is really super.

Michael,

The large version is just a joy to look at. The image really brings me right there, like I'm part of the scene. The clarity is excellent and the diversity of colors is amazing. What a beautiful and tranquil scene. Excellent work.

Classic autumn scene. The central placement of stream works wonder here

Outrageous! I was at my desk, then after I opened the larger version, I found myself sloshing up a creek in the midst of a colorful, radiant forest. Thanks for trip, Michael!

Beautiful Michael. From the thumbnail I thought it was New England.
