The first one has nice rolling curves and cloud coverage!

I like the first and last best.
The first for the stormy skies over those beautiful mountains, and the last for the fine composition and outstanding light and patterns in the water.
Glad you had a successful trip.

I also really like the first and last ones, but I gotta say, your vantage point in #2 has me VERY intrigued.

Stan, I love the color in the last one. I might consider cropping the top off of it to hide the boulder and distant stuff which pulls the eye away from all the wonderful color.

I think you're right, Erik--good call!
Posted by Erik Stensland on April 3, 2010 at 3:51 PM
I'd take just a tad more off to hide that dark area in the top left. Good stuff Stan.

Very nice. I like #4, especially after the crop.
Boy, Erik sure is in a croppy mood! :razz:
Posted by Stan Rose on April 3, 2010 at 4:22 PM
Yeah, here's one more for Erik :biggrin:

Too funny, Stan. I really like the colors and reflections in the last one. (2nd to last one)
Posted by Erik Stensland on April 3, 2010 at 5:01 PM
Stan, that last one is perfect! At least it fits my croppy mood today. :biggrin:

Great images! Like the pastel colors in the first image.

I like the second and fourth ones. Call me crazy, but I prefer the original version of #4.
Posted by Morris McClung on April 4, 2010 at 8:41 PM
All of them are well done as usual with #2 and #4 being extra good to me.
Posted by Jeff Hackett on April 4, 2010 at 8:57 PM
2 and 4 for me. I like your repost of 4. I really like reflected color. That re-repost is probably my favorite!

I'm with DJ I like the Rock before the crop. Being a fly fishermen I know there are fish in the riffle coming away from the Rock. I wanted to look there and noticed it right way :)

I even like it from a photographic stand point as well----but hey what do I know :) I can see the point about the crop too :)

Stan I like them all :)
