Bend in the creek
This is a take of a fairly remote section of a well known creek in the Columbia River Gorge. This area is very serene and pristine - one of my favorite spots. To be honest, I am not sure if I posted this before my hiatus or not - if I did, sorry for the repetition.

This is really impressive Mr. Ned. Besides the comp. the water is looking really great and lighting on the green mosses especially is top notch. Very well done, very pleasing to the eyes, CONGRATS!
ps we need to get out and shoot some tulips soon, maybe others in the Portland area could join us?

Very nice shutter choice and comp. The background could be a touch lighter for me.

Nice one, Craig! I love your knack for the portraying the water flow. It has such a good texture, not totally smoothed out, so the viewer gets a good feel for the play of the water over rocks and through the stream bed. Great work!

Nice comp of a tough subject. I like the flow from dark to light. :)
