Pemigewasset River

i particularly like the lush greens and details in the moss covered rock and the trees when opening the large version, Mike. The water flow over that one rock is a nice touch also. This turned out really well IMO. I must have been off doing something else as I missed this one.

Love the detail of the water, and the colors of the rock...

For some reason this feels like a film image.  I like it's naturalness (well, except for the water). The woods are naturally dark and the granite looks natural. People don't shoot woods as they are any more, adding more more cyan and pop with contrast (myself included). But there is so much beauty in the way they are.

Is the square crop for a reason? Just wondering whether Instagram maybe influenced it?
Otherwise I love the silky water and the colors are superb.
Don't take the crop question as a critique, I don't mind it although I wonder what a traditional landscape would be.
I know that photographers are composing for square crops...

This is very refreshing, Michael.  It’s about 2 thousand degrees here, and I kinda want to dive right into this image.  Love the greens  and the soft water being offset by the granite.  I might clone the little bright edge of rock under the boulder along the bottom edge.  Really well done.

Thanks to all for the comments. Igor, I know you mentioned before you don't care for the long exposure look. I think that look is more a byproduct of the days when photographers were using low ISO films, combined with overcast lighting and small apertures. I guess we've just gotten used to it. Dan, i realized I hadn't taken any landscape orientation shots, so I was trying to crop a vertical down. This is what I ended up with. I wanted to leave the rock on the bottom and some green foliage at the top. Gary, you've got a great eye. I noticed the bright rock spec after I was done processing and saving, and didn't want to degrade image by cropping and saving again.

This image has a very three dimensional feel.  I like the contrasting color between the reddish browns in the rocks and the vibrant greens.  I think the V-shaped tree adds a lot of interest in the frame.  The composition feels a bit tight, but I'm not sure what constraints you were working with.  Nicely done! 

Edit - I just read your comment that this was cropped from a vertical composition so that explains the tightness to the composition.  I am curious to see the full frame shot though.

I also replied to your question about the Tetons on my Homage post. 

Thanks Brian. Original posted as per your request.

Looks nice and cool for a hot day.  The smooth water contrasts nicely with the highly detailed trees and background.

Fabulous colors and treatment of the water.  I love the dark forest, and the square crop works for me because the colors divide it nicely in thirds, top to bottom.  I can imagine a tish more iff the top  (to just above the big rock upper right).  Great work on this.

Michael, This is really nice work and I'm enjoying it very much. It is a very interesting composition and it works great for me. I also like your processing on this. 
Now I see the original shot and I actually like that even better. Maybe crop just the sky out not coming down as far as you did in the posted version. Very nice either way.
