I like the painterly feel to this one, and the crop works well for it. It looks a little misty, and I like being led through the image by the river.

I too like the painterly feeling due to the softness as well as the sweep of the river to the mountain in the distance. In fact, I think adding more softness to make this truly painterly would make it clear that the softness is deliberate. As presented, I'm not sure if the softness is atmospheric or added in processing.

I like the soft misty feel to this Bob and a very nice composition also. Very nice job on this.

I really like this, Bob. We would spend a few days each spring in the Stanley area steelhead fishing on the Salmon. Fish that would migrate nearly 900 miles and still fight like hell, particularly on a fly rod. Not to good to eat, so catch and release for us. Beautiful, cold country, captured very well.

Bob, this image has a very nice peaceful, inviting feel to it. The wider crop works really well here.
