Stumps dot the shoreline along this stretch of the Ottawa River while steam rises from the stacks of a pulp and paper mill in the distance.

Lovely colors, Brad! I like the first version better. It feels very calm with great mood. Nice work.

The first version seems much better balanced, sky to water wise. Great colours & nicely exposed.

This is actually a hard choice for me between the two. The first is definitely more conventional and appealing in it's own right, but the second's blue water gradient with just a hint of the three small stones really feels sweet as well. I might actually lean towards the second version, but they're both quite nice.

Very cool color gradient. I like the starkness of the near silhouette comp.

Love the silhouettes and colors, Brad. I think I would crop the darker blue off the bottom of the first one and turn it into a panorama....but then I have a passion for panoramas
