Fun in the Smokies
Hanging out in Gatlinburg, TN this weekend and got a little time in the woods yesterday. This is along the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.

Well composed for sure. This is beautiful, Amy. I might be tempted to pump up the greens and yellows just a bit to give this a little more pop.

Very, very nice Amy! Love how you used just the right exposure for the ware flow!

Hi Amy - this is a beautiful image! I really like the composition and processing overall. Slightly brightening the greens, especially in the middle back, could help bring a bit more depth to the image. I really need to add this area to my trip list!

A beautiful composition. I have to agree with Sarah on making the greens pop out a bit, but once that is done this should be a great addition to your portfolio.

Welcome to my area of the world Amy. Get out of Gatlinburg, head into the park, and make some more photos like this one. I agree on the greens. This time of year they almost seem electric so pumping them up a bit will be natural. I like the flow of the water down the frame. Your exposure is good and the water has just enough details.

Very nice image Amy, I like the way you composed it. I agree with Richard, just enough details in the water.

This looks like a beautiful area that you have captured very well. The comp leads your eye right up the creek and into the forest. This will look great on your wall!

Very nice sense of motion and I really like the greens.
