See my Smokies report on the forum. This is Oconaluftee River on the Chasteen Creek trail.

C&C appreciated.

Don't you just love the spring green in the Smokies? Sometimes I turn down the vibrance some because it looks too green. You've done a good job on this one. The path on the right adds some interest to the photo. The trees seem to arch over the river.

The surface of the water seems a bit bright like you didn't have a polarizer on, but I see that you did.

This has a wonderful smokies spring feel. You can almost smell the air! I think you could also crop an interesting pano from this by cropping the bottom quarter out up to where the stick is on the right.

Love that feeling of Spring in the Smokies. This has a bit of a purplish cast on my monitor. I might try bringing the red and blue down a bit and darkening slightly overall.
