Harley, this image has wonderful mid-tone grays. Great detail. I'm struggling with the crop a little bit, but still I think its a strong image. Best Regards.

You know I like this one too. I very much like how the details of the granite contrast with the soft flow of the water; a pleasant visual contrast. Also, a minor element, but I really like the crack, or the gap, and having some water show through from the other side of the boulders. I think that small space really adds a great deal to the comp. Great eye.
This is an interesting image Harley. Not as strong as the Cascade Creek shot IMHO, but the tones are great. You are really getting good at the Pyro and BW processing. There is something that seems unbalanced in the comp though but I can't quite put my finger on it.
Love the textures of the granite against the soft water and I agree about the gap/crack adding a little something extra to the comp. Nicely done Harley.

You got a nice theme going with your bookend B&W intimate stream images The Tone range and water detail are just a little better in the 2nd image.
