A cooler version :)
This is one I recently posted in ES&S. Thought I'd post the slightly re-worked one here as well. Several pointed out that the image was a tad bit warm, does this one work better?

Looks better, but I'm on a different monitor. Great shot!

Thomas, it is cooler - but I still think it is warm. Its your interpretation though, Thomas. Its neither right nor wrong. Tremendous image either way.

Very strong composition and excellent colours throughout - perhaps a touch too warm still IMO, but it is a personal choice as Richard said!.

Thanks guys! I'll go back and look at this one again and see if I can get it straightened out :smile:

I'd be interested in how much you change it. I like it alot but maybe a little bit of strength in the greens is what my perception wants to see . I am definitely partial to leaving warmth in myself. This is very plush feeling :smile:

Looks better Thomas. The water looks a lot crisper which makes the whole shot pop.

The darker pools in the water and wet parts of the rock still look a bit brown, more like a tannin rich stream. I would mask the bottom and pull some yellow and a touch of red out of the shadows.
This should help the moss to look a bit greener and the rocks closer to gray.

That's a killer shot Thomas. No two ways about it.
