Pine Creek

I've posted this in response to the comments from those who felt that a more intimate horizontal composition would be stronger than my previous post. Personally, both compositions are equally appealing to me, although of course for different reasons.

I agree, both compositions are excellent, and I like them both for, as you said, different reasons. If I HAD to choose, I think I favor this comp slightly over the other because of the larger flowers and I love the subtle colors where the rock is wet. Beautiful image.

I missed the first but like both equally well. Very nicely balanced light in these images.

I like them both, Jim, but of the two I prefer the vertical.
I feel that the colors are better there.

I think I prefer this one Jim and I'm surprised it's not had a lot more interest. The comp is excellent as is the lighting and colour throughout.

Gary.

I like the flow in this version a little over the vertical. The waterfall has more prominence here. Nice color in both.
