Evening Creekside

Very nicely composed, Harley. Beautiful, subtle tones and textures in the foliage and the creek works well to pull the eye through the frame. Processing looks spot-on. No suggestions.

Harley,

At least the campground didn't suck. ;-)  Wait, that doesn't sound right.  If I said, "At least it's not windy..." then you'll get my meaning.

Although most times I want to eek out color and saturation, I really like the understated and natural colors you've presented here.  The longer shutter speed works beautifully on the creek giving us a hint of the time of day.  Subtle, but important as well, I like that you've included the background slope, which provides another clue of this being in canyon of the Eastern Sierra;  a place where the autumn colors of the aspen, willow, birch and cottonwood congregate.

Understated like I mentioned, but wonderfully beautiful as well.

Nice image Harley. I, too, like the inclusion of the rocky slope in the upper right. I may have used a faster SS for that water.

The details and textures really pop in the larger version, Harley. This does have a quiet peaceful mood to it as you mentioned. Looks like a great spot to unwind and end the day; especially with that malt.

Really like the more subtle colors here and the look of the water is excellent also.

What a peaceful scene Harley.  Been in those types of places many times.  It brings a sense that all is right in the world.  I really like the smooth water, the wonderful fall foliage and colors, and the rising level of bushes and trees going back into the frame.
