That is just fantastic, Richard. Very soothing and natural to look at. Every part of the composition is meaningful and you really made the most of the little bit of soft light here.

Great composition. I am loving that water and the great clarity of the background. Well done.

Nice. I was just at the NC area of the park for a couple of days and the forest is just spectacular - the greens are just as intense as you've shown them. I toned down the sat in one image because the trees looked too fluorescent. Might be my monitor but the water here looks a little too blue. :smile:

Composition and light are both extraordinary! Masterful job of 'development', as well.
Nice tension between tranquility and the chaos that the rapids seem to impart.
I especially like the fact that I can see so far back into the woods. Beautiful work, Richard!

I never get tired of seeing this spot when those dogwoods are all dressed up.
Beautiful shot Richard.

This looks like a wonderful painting, and I mean that in a most complimentary way. Superbly captured moment in time.

Excellent in every way, Richard. From the water texture to the amazing arrangement of elements throughout the frame, this is one of the finest stream images I have seen in a long time. :toast:

Gorgeous scene, I love it! I enjoy our dogwoods in the Yosemite Valley and surrounding areas a lot. But these scenes from the east really call out to me.

Beautiful work Richard. I love that little bit of light on the trees and the shutter speed you chose works to perfection. Wonderful conditions. I sure would love to see this one bigger.

What a great scene..and captured perfectly as well. Good choice of shutter speed to keep a little detail in the water. I'd say you and Jerry timed the trip well to get the dogwoods.
