Lower Wisconsin River

Gallery: LandscapePosted August 28, 201814,645 views10 comments

This is a picture I made on the Wisconsin River just two miles from my home. It was a beautiful early morning and I was wishing I was heading down stream in my canoe which is very popular thing to do on this Lower Wisconsin River section. It is especially nice when the river is lower so that there are many sandbars to camp on for the night.
Thanks for all of your comments on my last post and any thoughts on this one. Nick

This is very gentle, inviting and beautiful, Nick. The strip of greenish clear sky really sets off the warmer tones well.

A picture of serenity Nick. I love the bands of pastel color in the sky.

There couldn't be a better start to the day when you are at a place such as this in the early morning hours. I love how you have conveyed that sense through this photograph. It is quiet, moody and simply stunning.

Oh so peaceful. I really like the subtle colors, they are what make the image for me along with the composition.

There is a wonderful sense of the peaceful dawn of a new day. I agree that the blues and cyan in the sky add much to it. The darks are what give trouble to photographers of this time of the day. They are really handled well here in that they have good definition yet maintain that dark quality of early morning. Nicely done.

Beautiful quiet scene, Nick. I agree with Igor, that you handled the shadows very well. The smaller version looks dark, but as usual, the large is spot on. Very calming, I love it.

This is so nice, Nick. The view you captured here has a peaceful inviting feel to it and the pastels in the sky work beautifully as do the warm tones reflected in the river. Looks like the perfect way to start the day to me.
