Found this on the hard drive and being tired of overcast rainy days I figured I'd like to see some color again. Nice peaceful afternoon in the central island area.

Nice and peaceful indeed! Great mood with the cool rushing water surrounded by those lush greens and all topped off with that sun star. Beautiful image, Bill.

I like this image very much, Bill. The glowing color and the flowing stream captured nicely. The water streams dividing in the foreground add an increased energy. Very nice.

Nice soft effect you got on the vegetation here and I like the smoothness of the water with nothing really being blown it. This image makes me want to go up river and explore

Wow Bill, this one is a real calendar shot! Great comp, and the way you handled the light glowing between the darker sides reminds me of some of Bierstadt's paintings. I think this is absolutely perfect. Thanks for not putting on a strong ND filter and turning the water into a big milkshake.

This looks lovely, Bill. I like you ss choice for the water, it helps create a fine llc to ur eye flow and the green and yellow foliage looks great and wonderfully inviting. The sunburst is a special addition. I do think that some burning in of the sky would help emphasize that sunburst.

Sweet scene Bill. I sure wish I had these kind of images hiding on my hard drive. Beautiful comp, the stream looks perfect and the vegetation lush. I agree with Mark about burning the bright area upper right but super as is.

A beautiful forest scene with really effective use of the light. I'm curious about the processing technique, the background looks a little ortonized.

Thanks a lot everyone. I'll do some work on the bright area and Kah there is a bit of Orton used in the back round areas.
Thanks for the critiques they help a lot.

This has an almost Orten effect which is really nice.
I would also tone down the brigth FG area.
Water texture is very nice.....

Beautiful balanced composition, well developed. The sunstar is not overpowering and fits with the relaxed mood.
