This spectacular gorge on the Franco-Swiss border is a constant source of inspiration. Here it shows off its magnificent Spring colours....

I love the tranquility of this, with a slight softness drifting into the distant trees. It has the impression of not being quite level, as if it needs a slight CW rotation. I also find the bare patches on the left foreground a little distracting.

Gorgeous work Julian. This is especially lovely. Unique and reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest too!

Rich with wonderful shades of green. The tree trunks add a nice contrast too, especially in the reflection.

Fabulous greens and a lovely tranquil feeling to this.
Cropping a little off the LH side wouldn't harm it .
Lovely capture

A secret bend in some mystical forest. Great work Julian. The mossy trees and their reflection steal the show for me.
There is a small white bit on the extreme left thats catching my eye a bit.

Thanks for sharing

Julian, I admire the mystic green shades, especially the way you show the mossy branches. A wonderful dreamy reflection to my eye. The delicate light at the top adds a lot in my opinion.

I am just thinking about darkening the brighter areas in the foreground at the left, that might help me to concentrate on the midground as a center of interest for me.

Those FG trees are simply beautiful with their twisted moss covered limbs and branches. Nice work.
