Nice pov on this capture. The sun star could use some exposure/highlight tweeks to be more visible. :toast:
Well seen..

That's a fine comp that really pulls the viewer in. I also like the greens in this. I agree about maybe a touch more work on the brightest area of the sky and sun.

Daniel, I agree about the brightest area too, but other than that I really like this. That creek is just beautiful and the light in the lower part looks wonderful, actually all of it does except for the sun. Another option that I think would work nice would be to crop out all the sky right to the bottom of the V something close to a 4x5 crop I would bet. Doing a scroll crop like that looked quite appealing to me. It really draws your attention to that beautiful creek. I do notice that the V in the sky kind of matches the flow of the creek which does look pretty neat as well. Nice work! :smile:

I love how the "V" in the sky mimics the water below. Nice effect on the water. Very nice image.

For me, this image begins and ends with the fg. Your pov really showcases that splendid combination of rocks and water. The misty swirling stream beneath the bright green leaves is just excellent. I didn't even notice the sunstar till I read the other comments so my personal preference would be to simply crop it out.

Beautiful scene and pov Daniel. Great greens and nice flow to this. Without reading below I too scroll cropped to the base of the sunstar and liked how my eye pulled into the bright area down the creek. But very nice as is.
