Spent the weekend in the NE of Oregon. This is about 25 miles from my new "retreat."

Comments appreciated!

Thanks, Edward

D300, 17-55mm

Well the water is a bit blue in the whites, but it's a pleasant blue color :smile: I'm curious how you got this under 200K !! Nice and sharp with lots of detail like this - a print of this would look awesome !!

There is a wonderful mood to this photograph. I feel as if I'm alone sitting on a rock in the early morning enjoying the scene. The brighter "S" curve of the water in contrast to the darker rock and trees leads my eye to the last bend in the river, and there is almost a 3-D quality. Very nice.

Wow, I'd like to find that rock that Richard is sitting on and enjoy some time there myself. What a view! I think I would do something about the dead tree on the left, though. Otherwise, :cool: shot.

Thanks for the comments! I tweaked the water and now it's not so blue. I also warmed the image up a bit.

I think the gray tree on the left kind of balances the gray rocks on the right, but I'll take it out and see what it looks like. I think the bottom left might be a bit too dark, though.
