Flow

I missed the light I wanted, but I always enjoy this stream that feeds the Augusta Canal. Spring might have arrived here...I hope.

I like this vantage point above the water and the flow is captured very nicely. Also those rich colors on the bank compliment the stream quite well. My only nit would be that the comp seems too tight on the right side as I keep wanting to see some more of that stream.

Does anyone here remember Mark Hobson? This sort of reminds me of his better images that had a random feel to them, but which still looked good. I think there is that random character in this comp too, but overall the image is pleasant to view with out much room for criticism.

I really like the color and comp in this. I think if the comp didn't have the top left branches poking in it could be just that much better. I agree about being composed a little to the right.

You've got great colors and lovely flow in the water. I'm like the others in wanting to see what's off to the right.

I like the comp here, but find the processing a bit flat. I might adjust curves or levels to increase contrast somewhat.

Love the colors in the bank and the contrast with the water. What I find less interesting is the URC. Personally I would consider a crop just below the base of the trees. To me, this really makes the stream and the bank the focal point of the image.
