Fools Gold + repost

A rainforest stream in the Springbrook National Park, Queensland.

The yellow rocks looked golden in the morning light and reminded me of panning for gold.

Thank you for any c&c.

Those yellow rocks really do shine out David.
Nicely seen little intimate landscape just keep an eye out for the bright patches at the edge of the frame.

Well captured.

this is a nice intimate scene. The golden yellow rocks are really beautiful in this morning light.

Very pretty scene David..I find the bright rock in the foreground to be distracting..this picture is all about mood and the flow..try burning the front rock and check out

I love these kind of images and you found a lovely composition here. The colors interact very well. Maybe the shadows could be a little lighter, but that's just me.

Nice flow to the composition. The colors look great, and I like both of the above processing suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback guy's. I've done another version based on your suggestions... less contrast and burning the bottom right rock down.
Cheers.

Lovely light and color and I also like the motion of the water. Very nice intimate shot.

I'll take those three nuggets and retire. The blurred water works well with the golden rocks and the orange at the top completes a pleasant color scheme. Nicely seen and captured.

This is really nice. The comp is superb and the colors and water speed really make this one shine. I like what you've done with the brighter rocks in the repost but I like the darker shadows in the original.

Are you working on the new monitor now?

Wonderful light. The colors in the rocks above and below the water are rich and warm, a lovely contrast to the cooler tone of the water. Very nice
