Beautiful clash of colors. I might tone down the rock blue a bit.

I like this a lot. I would like it more if all the rocks were blue.

This is an interesting image. I had to look at it for a while because I am not used to seeing blue rocks in the river. It is a nice image. The detail, dof and focus is right on.

That late light really changes things, doesn't it. In this case, for the better, yielding some very pleasing colors. Excellent detail, especially for a leaf on the water.

That's a beautiful leaf and you've isolated it nicely against the stones. You've got lots of good textures and details in the river bottom. The blue in the stones does seem a bit strong.

Outstanding!!! I think that the soft shadows on the left are a key element to the appeal of this composition. My only suggestion would be to clone out the two small white artifacts in the extreme URHC.

Beautiful little intimate scene. I find the colors a bit saturated for my tastes, but that is very much a personal preference. Very well done.

Bill,

The Cool and warm tones are wonderful, and the texture and details put this one over the top for me. I really dig this sweet shot!!

I like the strong color contrasts here! Im a bit confused by what im seeing though--is the leaf floating, submerged??

No suggestions from me. The colors are sublime. Would look great printed large I'd bet.
