Big Creek B&W
Another shot from the storm that blew thru earlier this week, this is a shot from one of the many streams and rivers that bisect Jefferson County Indiana, My son and I were out driving thru the more rural parts of our county when we came across this scene.

Thanks for taking a look !!

This is a great image. Looks like a good location that would be worth further visits.

I like the BW treatment and the way the river leads you into the frame. My only nit would be a crop from the top where the sky is very bright, to help keep the viewer bouncing around in the snowy trees and not out and over the top of the frame.

I love this as is, but love the motion when the sky is cropped out as Brian has suggested. With the sky in, my eye loses all of the wonderful little details of the scene.

Beautiful scene, the curve of the river is of course a great lead in. I also would be pro-crop on this regarding the sky.

Another vote for cropping the sky.

Regardless, that s-curve in the river is captivating.

What a great scene, Bernie! I agree with the others regarding a crop from the top, though...nice curves in the stream. :smile:
