Morning on the Saco & Re-Post

Gorgeous color and light Harry. Really like the range of colors you found here. The low view point works well too.

Awesome! The off-center sunset you balanced with that large cobblestone and grouping opposite. Enjoy the light bouncing off the water. Well done. No nits.

I love the sky reflection on the water in the mid-ground. Perfect shutter speed for the water motion, too. Very nice composition that feels well balanced to my eye. Nice work, Harry.

Very nice color range in this image. Perfectly exposed and well composed.

Love the balance between the sky and water; well composed.

Gorgeous Harry!! Love the crisp details in the FG along with the lovely reflected color in the stream. Beautiful from front to back. Well done.

Oh wow, my eye was immediately drawn to that beautiful pink reflection on the water. It's mesmerizing. I might try a vertical crop eliminating much of the left side and focusing on that luscious light. Either way, this is a strong image.

This is Beautiful!! Wonderful work, Harry. The large version is a treat!

Very well done all the way around!

Classic! I love the reflected color in the foreground water.

Kory - This is a vertical from a slightly different part of the river. I wanted to take advantage of the sky in this, but did not like the water action compared to the horizontal. Unfortunately I didn't get this sky from the other vatage point. The color was short lived. I prefer the water flow in the original to this. Shooting down stream is much more challenging from a comp standpoint, and the water cascades from this angle just didn't do it for me. Thanks.

I really like the low angle on this. Nice soy color palette too.

Beautiful.

I like the whole scene, but the color combos in the water are what really catch my eye. Good eye to see this one.

Yeah Harry I agree with you about the water flow being better in the first one. I just thought that you might be able to crop that first one. That light sure did fade fast, eh?

I agree Kory, a crop of the initial post would work. Just would limit my enlargement abilities I guess. Thanks for the input.

Harry,

I just LOVE the reflected colors echoing in the water; the low perspective really picks that up well. I can see the desire of a crop here, but personally I like the weighted balance that the rocks provide in the LL and cropping them out actually changes things to the detriment of the image, IMHO.

However Harry, I must say I think I prefer your 2nd post. To me, the first is not really about the flow of the water because you reduce it's importance with the low perspective - to me it's about the colors - and the rock to some extent interacting with the flow of the water. And so with that, the color is even more the story in the vertical, yet there still is a nice comp and flow with the water. The color highlights picked up not only in the water and pool downstream, but also being picked up on the wet rocks is just gorgeous.

Just my .02, I love both of them. Thanks for showing the vertical too.

Fantastic light and color. That sweet light and color from the sunrise reflecting on the water puts this one way over the top! The comp is excellent in leading the eye through.

Oops, just scrolled down to see the vertical. Yeah, that one gets an ,"Oh, Mommy!."

Harry, love the framing and colors here. The reflected light in the water is perfect.

Beautiful colors and like the great foreground detail leading off the far gap. Real sweet.

This is stunning. The colors in the rocks and water are absolutely beautiful, as is the sky and the darker trees serve to pull it all together. Excellent work!

very nice comp and colors, really does a nice job of leading my eye through the scene

This sure is a fine stretch of river. I love the colors that are picked up in the water and their mirroring in the sky. Nice comp Harry.

Loved it, Impressive. A job well done Harry.

Love the orange reflections on the water. It looks tack sharp throughout. Good job.

Very nice scene, Harry, love how the comp pulls you right into the beautiful sunset. Nice job with the bledning, looks very natural.

I prefer the second shot, awesome light. The composition in the first isn't superior to the vertical IMO and the light is so much better in the second.
