Crystal Creek

I don't think this creek is actually called Crystal creek, but since it is below Crystal Cascade it seemed a fitting name. It is located right on the base of Mount Washington in New Hampshire and runs down from the famous Tuckerman's Ravine. I took a bunch of shots on this trip, mostly of the stream below the falls. And I actually had a tripod with me this year! (Unlike the photo from last fall...) Hope you like it!

Very nice image. Good color and comp. The motion blur works very well. I like the feeling of this image also.

Beautiful shot with great color. Only thing I would consider is cloning out what I think is a branch in the white water, middle right. Nice work.

Lovely location. Beautiful color in the foliage. the nice sweep of the water in the fg really draws the eye into the image.

like your comp and the water motion... only thing that slightly irritates me is your logo which looks a bit like like a sign hanging from the tree

Cam,

Very nice autumn/stream image. It's a little on the dark/contrasty side for me, but not overly so. I like the flow of the stream and for that I might consider a slight crop from the top - even though you might sacrifice a little bit of color.

Is that a water drop on your lens on the big boulder on the left? I'd do some creative cloning over there if you so choose.

Really nice comp, with the water leading out of the frame lower left. Nice, vibrant color palette too. I was going to recommend cropping out the sign hanging at the top, but then I realized it's your watermark!
