The larger view really shows the beautiful detail in the forest and grasses. Rich color and fine comp make this a very pleasing image. :cool:

I like this a lot, Danny. Nice composition with wonderful, vibrant greens. I really like the deep shadows as it makes the foreground leaves stand out.

Love those grasses, Danny, much better seen in the larger image. The format you chose works well to emphasize the layer of grasses and cascades. Nice.

The gentle motion in the river makes for wonderful layers to me, Danny. The panorama format still enhances the tranquil character of this scene for me. I like the diverse areas of interest that lead me nicely through your composition.

Beautiful Danny. I find these horizontal river's edge shots to be very hard, but the small falls and grass really make this one work.

I love the quiet mood and wonderful detail. the soft, silky water weaving through the clumps of grass is particularly nice.

What a lush scene Danny. Normally I like more detail in the water, but in this case I think it works well incontrast to allof the tree detail behind. The water looks glacial. A beauty, maybe a little more water on the bottom would give it a bit more balance, but you may have had reasons to eliminate more of the bottom.

Danny, I like this a lot....
Nice combination of motion and an interesting shoreline.

I have to tell you, I thought of your
“Respect Nature, Nature has no respect for you.” DL

When I was in the Grand Tetons,
and had just passed a Bear Warning sign...
alone in the woods on a narrow path...
:biggrin:
