Here's another... this time looking at a small portion of stream with ferns in the foreground.. The specs speak for how perfect it was up there with dead calmness first thing in the morning..

This is very nice, but might be even better with the top green cropped off - so that the left fern touches or almost touches the top of the frame. Then the top background greens and foreground fern greens don't compete. Your ferns are amazing.
Good grief, Ned! This is beautiful. I totally agree with Curtis; that's the first thing I thought when I saw this! "Falls" or "Ferns." My only bit of critique would be a suggestion to see how it looks to crop off the top, down to the ferns just above the rocks. But after all, your mastery of interpreting the river ecosystem/habitat is incomparable. Whether the focus is falls or ferns or.... (what next?!), this is another standout shot.

Thanks for the comments! It looks like we have more than a few water/falls/fern fans still about... honestly - thanks for taking the time to at least leave a few words on a post...
