From the archive

I've been looking through a lot of archived raw files to see if there is anything worth working on. This is a quick grab shot along Wahkeena Creek from last year. I'm not sure if it is worth keeping or not, but I remember at the time liking the composition. The leaves weren't in the best condition, and there may be too much vegetation vs. water - will let you all be the judge(s)

Well, for my part, I like it. I personally like the hints of water through the leaves in the top of the frame, which then spill out mid frame and downward. It is a good exposure. I think I might crop about 1/8th of the image off from the top, for some reason that works better for me.

Definatly a keeper. Ryans crop idea is a good suggestion. It's also good as is.

I love how this appears outta the foilage. That clump on the bottom left really anchors it too.

I like it. Makes me think of spring!

Thanks for the comments... I think the crop suggestion is great....

You certainly do these well, Ned.

Oh, lordy, Ned. You did it again. What else is lurking in your archives that simply must be seen to be believed? I like the crop idea, too; at the top, just below where the dark hole is in the foliage, does it for me. Wowee.

When will we see Ned's "Falls" book in the bookstore??

Ned,

I like this too, but if I had to crop something I'd lose the moss covered stumps the bottom. To me, the key part of this image is the swirly water in the middle with the vibrant greens coming in a close second.

The stump at the bottom is nice, but maybe adds an element of that doesn't need to be there. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I'll have another to post - plus one currently on ESS. I'd love to do a book of these.
