This is another image from my trip to Höllental a few days ago, a valley in Lower Austria. On this overcast afternoon I enjoyed the diverse colors and textures.

I really like the soft color palette here Peter. The shutter speed on the water works well and the scene has good depth. It could be moss, but I think I notice some chromatic aberration in areas of the cliff - most noticeably on the left hand side. If you use PS, just duplicate your background layer - correct through lens distortion - and then blend in with an inverse mask.

Love that green water and it's smoothness. It contrasts nicely with the starkness of the cliffs and trees.

Definitely a place that I would have great fun at. I like the trees in from of the bold wall and the clear quality of the water. Technically this one falls a bit behind your usual quality and you might check if you can do something about that.

This looks like a great place to photograph. You've choosen a goos shutter speed for this one. i love the color of the water and the softness of it. The comp works well for me but I also agree with Andreas.....somehow I think this is technically wise not as strong as your other work

The emerald green is beautiful. The canyon wall doesn't catch my attention quite as much.

An image that seems to portray the place well. I like the square crop and the different areas, starting with the water which is my favourite. The green looks very appealing, as well as the structure. The bg however looks a bit soft - or the jpg compression is doing its work there.

The emerald water is a real eye catcher, and the slate grey, wall's textures definitely compliment.

Very nice Peter. I especially like the looks of the water here with the color and perfect shutter speed for a great look. The textured and moss covered canyon wall looks good too. Your composition also works very nice. I enjoy the pleasing and natural color and overall feel.
