McCord Creek

dreamy and majestic. I'm a little uncertain about the majority of the foreground (before the rock). I think due to the WA and use of polarizer that it's visually confusing and skews the perspective. I'd crop from where the log enters the water

Works for me! I might even make it more "nonstandard" by shaving just a bit off the right side to focus more on the falls and autumn leaves. You might even keep the square format by cropping a bit from the bottom, too, but I am not sure if that would take out too much of the underwater view. I am really enjoying all the greens, and I think the exposure and processing are right on. If you are not averse to tampering, that bright spot (leaf reflection?) left of center might be toned down. Altogether, a lot to see in this delightful image.

Pretty sweet. I love the sense of mystery. I'm intriqued by the underwater part but I'm not sure it adds a lot to the overall image. I'll let the more experienced weigh in on that. As is, it's an engaging and beautiful image

There are some lovely elements to this, Daniel. I love the falls and the two trees above it, as well as the large round boulders. I personally hate logs as foreground elements, so that portion of the composition does not work for me. Sounds like Luke has a similar opinion, though, so maybe it's not just me.

I like it!

Very nice Daniel. I'm really enjoying the lushness of the scene. I might crop some off the bottom (halfway to the log). I like the comp a lot. Nice work!

Nice back and forth shot. Like the darkness here, as it lends itself to the quiet mood.

This is quite nice, I love the lush, peaceful feel. I think most of the interest is in the upper right portion - any comps that focus more on that scene?

Daniel it works for me. Lots for my eye to experience.
I think this is great.

Very nice Daniel. I really enjoy the large version which shows this off so much better. I too would be tempted to crop this right where the water line is on the log.

I like the light, but could see cropping the foreground up to where the water hits the log. The darker tones help amp the saturation, which I like.

A beautiful shot, Daniel. Wonderful processing of the greens and yellows creating a very enchanting mood. The large version really shows off the wonderful details. I really like your comp, but agree re cropping the blurry fg water as is tends to suck my eye down into it.

It works, indeed. Good stuff!

Daniel,

I think it works great if you crop up on the foreground up to the log showing just a bit of the submerged parts. The rest of the picture is absolutely beautiful.
