Going through old images again. I took this last summer, just after sunset.
Somehow the exif data got lost during either conversion or processing, and my RAW backups are not handy at the moment. So I'm sorry but I don't have exposure/focal length details. in fact I'm not even sure of the date except that it was sometime in the latter half of July.
Does anyone know how I might have lost the exif data? I need to figure this out so it doesn't happen again.

Did you use Save for Web? That erases the exif data.
Really nice color there, though I've found its hard not to get nice color out of that river.

Wow, the color is amazing Curtis. I believe the river color but were the evergreens really that green? This is a nice, pleasant scene.

Thanks folks for the comments.
Bryan, that's true statement. It's tough to get bad color on that river.
Marc, I usually give my colors a punch. especially if there's a lot of green involved. Sometimes I overdo it, so I'll take closer look at the greens on this one next time I open PS.
As for losing the exif data, I should have been more specific. I always save-for-web to get a jpeg copy, so my jpegs never have any exif data. In this case however, I'm talking about my .psd file. The layers are all there, but the only exif data left is the camera brand and model.

Beautiful color in the water. Contrasts so well with the light colored rocks. The straight trunks in the background add another interesting element.
Hey...this is pretty nice Curtis. Maybe a smidgeon oversat on the green in the trees, but still dig this scene because of the way you composed it.

very green.....
I am guilty of shooting these scenes all the time and what I would really like to see is your shot from ground level......if thats possible.....I know sometimes its hard to get down there but these (from a bridge or road) shots are lacking in impact....mine included
Well I did try to climb down under the bridge, but I chickened out. I was recovering from knee surgery and the other knee still needs work, so I wasn't very steady on my feet.
I didn't make it far enough to really tell if there is a place to stand under there, and still see down stream far enough to make a comp with some depth to it. I also need to explore upstream a bit to see if I can zoom under the bridge with the 70-200. As it was, I spent most of my time on, and just down stream of that big rock on the right.
I wasted about an hour working this little swirly from a run-off stream coming down the bank from the campground. I didn't get much out of it, but I had fun.
