A small stream up in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon. I spent a wonderful morning of shooting compositions of this stream in perfect (lack of bright) light. This is a comp. I have not worked yet, slightly different from my other images. What caught my eye is the swirl around the bottom rock. The small white cascade in the LRHC created by the light colored piece of branch might be distracting??

I like the rock and the flow in the LRHC. The little branch is ok to me. Nice shot.

I've seen this one printed to 16x24 and let me tell ya'll, it's stunning!

One of the better CG stream shots I've seen on this site. I'm not bothered by the branch but you could certainly darken it a bit to see the difference. Composition here is very pleasing with respect to placement of greenery and stream.

Ned, love the light and how all the movement stays within the frame. You are not pulled out in any direction by the stream. :jump: :jump:
