Colorado River

Took this one on the Colorado river between Lake Mohave and Lake Mead. I'm still on my laptop so please let me know if the processing is off in any way. Headed for Death Valley next...any suggestions for photo ops? Thanks for looking.

Processing looks fine...light not the greatest

I think it's pretty cool with the sky cropped out,makes for an interesting puzzle of land and water.
As for DV--haven't been there in a long time. Maybe avoid Zabrinske and the dunes and just spend the whole time on one cactus or on Scotty's castle

I like the color difference between the water on the right and on the left. I also like the curving bit of land. I could see cropping from the bottom to remove that slope coming in from the lower right.

Nancy, I like it with the sky cropped out too. Gives it a whole different feel to me. I think your processing looks fine.

A nice perspective showing land, mountains and water... but sky is pretty flat and there's no real color aside from the water. This isn't doing much for me as posted. I would try doing this in B&W which has some real potential.

I like how the neutrals compliment the blue/green water. Funny how there is beauty even in the desert.

I like all the different textures as well as the color change in the water. The processing looks good to me!

The light is not the best - but the processing looks good. Maybe a little bit to warm for my taste. I agree about giving a chance with the sky cropped.
