Bill:
I am so envious that you are able to visit such a nice national park and enjoy the peace and quite by this stream. Viewing the larger version is a must - so much to see and the lighting is just magical. Particularly like the multicolored leaves on the rock in the fg and the moss around the trunk.

Delicate colors, Bill, and I especially like the incidence of light on the mossy tree on the right.

Beautiful mood and image Bill. Perfect processing for the water - at least for my tastes. Superb detail but still a warm, welcoming image. Exceptionally well done.

I'm so glad you posted a larger version, too. In the larger version I can almost breathe and feel the air.

The details in the larger version are amazing Bill. Great Orton treatment of the scene also. An excellent shot all around.

A lovely woods scene, and I like the Orton effect. Saturation seems a little on the weak side though - I might boost that. I really like the placement of the diagonal log, and I like the color in the BG.

Lovely shot, Bill, with such delicate tones throughout ! The water is the highlight for me, but I also find the composition interesting - the fallen logs inviting questions about whether they have fallen naturally or been placed there as bridges.

A cohesive comp with nice repeating lines, and the Orton glow works great once again here. Very dreamy and beautiful, Bill!

Bill Just absolutely brimming with life and color, hardly notice the Orton, but it doe lend just a hair of softness that seems to give a peacefulness to the scene and dull what some would consider busy. I like it.
