Say that three times fast....

Shot this one along the Middle Prong of the Little River on Friday. It was just a small stream on the side of the road but the moss was almost electic it was so green.

17mm, 1.6 sec, f/16
C&C welcome!!

The moss in spring really brightens these small streams and cascades. Nice choice of shutter speed and comp. Sure says spring to me. :toast:

Like the stream leading me through and like the pop of green with the earth tones. My eye is somewhat drawn to the spot of brown leaves at the top left of the image. I would be curious to see what it looks like with that cropped off the top. Might mess up the whole balance, but just thought it was worth suggesting.

Nice intimate little flow of water. Good composition, SS, and saturation in the greens. As close as this scene is it might be improved by cloning out a few of the bright nits and nats laying on the rocks and by darkening the brown leaves in ULC so they don't garner attention.
