This is gorgeous Justin. The colors really pop, contrast is just right, and the comp is excellent as well. Very nicely done.

What a beautiful assortment of colors. I wonder how this would look with a little less space at the bottom, but the streaks in the water make a nice contrast to the more chaotic textures in the leaves.

Beautiful. Great comp and wonderful color. The stream and rocks look great with the fall color. Really nice work, Justin.

Impressive, Justin. Wonderful foliage, great dynamic on the water, well balanced comp - no nits whatsoever.

Beautiful, Justin! In the fall of 2000 I photographed along the Swift River.
This image motivates me to return.

Just beautiful! Your treatment of the foliage is wonderful, and it looks great with the textures of the rocks and stream. I like the way your chosen shutter speed preserved the structure of the water flow, and the transparency of the river revealing the rocks below brings even more life to the image.

Another great shot with those beautiful fall colors!!! Love it, Justin!!! Great composition as well. The blurred rocks in the stream adds depth (no pun intended). Well done, my friend!!!

Sweet simple scene here Justin!
It gets a little heavy in luminosity on the right, so I'd maybe think about doing a graduated luminance adjustment in ACR from far right to far left to balance that a little?

Justin,
I'm a little late to the party here, but wanted to comment. First, this is a beautiful autumn and streamside image. The strong L-R flow of the water is calming and the fall color is brilliant.
Now this hasn't even been mentioned so I question whether or not it's me.... but I think this is heavy in the saturation. I use TK's saturation masks all the time and I love images that pop, however what drew my eye to comment on this is actually not the reds and oranges of the fall color, but the rocks along the shore. At least to me, the tops of most of those rocks are very cyan. For me, it's been a long process to learn how to "see" colors in the field and perhaps there certainly could be some blue/cyan cast to the rocks... but it seems to be to be just past natural. Of course we're all within the realm of personal choice and creativity and so I don't have any issues if that's the intent, but I wanted to pass this along as an observation.
