Ned...the clairity and milkieness of the water are perfect.....however I feel a bit lost in this image as I am not sure where to look...I find myself floating down the river over the falls into neverland.....

Darren, here is the link for another version taken after the golden light.. maybe the portrait perspective is better?

Ned,
I agree the second version is much better. That tree in the foreground just kills this one. one It also looks kind of tilted. though I know that can be an elusion. But Like I said, I'll definatly go for the one you gave us the link for. IMHO of course.

The linked one is sweet.

Thanks for the comments. The other one is growing on me too. Because everything is perfectly level with the world, yet the angles of this whole river are strange, this image make me feel out of balance looking at it. The is another image with a good perspective that I think made for a better composition. I will post it when the site allows me to post again. :biggrin:

I dont know...these aren't special to me...I'm not feeling any emotion from them.

I'm kinda with Rick on this one. Of the 2 I like the 2nd one a lot more for clarity but the FG is open and sparse.....

Hmmmmmm well, plants don't thrive on old lava rock, what can I say? :biggrin: I love the second comp. personally..
