Same creek different day and different spot with hip boots on. :) Took advice and threw away old 'holy' hip boots and got new ones and waded out into creek. Comments appreciated. Thanks, Cliff

Cliff, a nice colorful image...
I think a crop just below the main gathering of leaves would be make for a stronger image!

I like this much better than your first post of the creek, Cliff. The highlights in the forest tops are not blown, and the FG subject holds more interest. I would have to disagree regarding the crop idea, however. Usually I like cleaning up clutter but in this case the trailing leaves at bottom add a sense of motion. It's too flat when cropped IMO. However, there seems to be a slight bit of green color cast to the FG.

The trees in the background with their reflection is pretty unique. Makes for a nice image. I do agree with Darrren's crop suggestion.

Seems peaceful and has a nice mix of bright and dark greens. I like the concept you're going for here.
The alder in the top center seems to grab my attention and not let me look at the reflections themselves (your title counteracts that to some degree but that's sort of cheating.) I think a comp with this more to the left or right might be interesting.
