The Greens of Pelican Creek, Yellowstone
I've waited several years for this shot to come together. The water levels in this small contributary are different every year and then you have to catch the right light and the lush green grass. My other version of this is posted on the Landscape forum.

As always thanks for taking a look. Any critique, opinion or anything else you would like to add would be much appreciated.

Colorful, but still has a gentle feel. The reflection of the sky in the curved creek channel is great.

The word 'gentle' is right on the money. What a wonderful image you captured here, Dean!
