    Lovely, Russ... each time I go there it's like a different place to me.

    2, 5 & 6 seem to best convey that there is a story in the telling, the continuity between them really works. Six is my fave, it's the quietest, most intimate and inviting of the series.

    Beautiful, love the color in the first two, and the black & whites are gorgeous. Like the variety.

    Just Plane Foggy....

    The halo could just be that the landscape scene capture mode in your camera added some extra contrast that doesn't seem apparent when viewing original image but gets exacerbated in smaller sizes. I can see why you went back for this, I would have, too.

    I am new at offering critique but have already benefited from receiving it myself. There are some generous, thoughtful photographers sharing their insights on this forum. Pops, ejones, BobH and other's I am forgetting - they've given me much to think about. Glad to have helped.

    I like the light in the branches on the first, but the wasted space below the tree puzzles me. The second shot is really nice, tho Digital Latte has spoken well about the tilt... I've never used one but I am under the impression that photographers who specialize in architecture use shift tilt or...

    Yeah, your image is a wonderful study in textural contrasts - the smooth soft flow of the water against the hard, resolute stones - and I love that you've placed the edge of these contrasts along the lower third... leads my eye first to the half submerged rock (which itself is in a...

    OK, I am not sure how clear I was, so here is what I meant - I made the adjustments and then removed them in slanted strips throughout the image - my intent is to show a before and after in how you can make the lower portion of the image carry the same colors as the upper portion. I hope I...

    The saturation and tones are perfect in the water and in the stones that are close to the water on the bank. I would love to see what you get if you played with the brighter rocks (farther from the water) in order to get them play nicely with the luminosity and saturation levels found on closer...

    What a surprise

    This reminds me of something mentioned in DVD bonus features for the film "The Social Network". They filmed using the RED system. If I remember right, in addition to less burn out in the highlights, a big factor in their choice was the ability to throw backgrounds out of focus with larger...

    What a surprise

    Yep, I love the contrast between the sharp, in focus, flakes and the soft out of focus background.

    This is just lovely. You've really nailed the exposure/blur on the water. Would you welcome some C&C?

    Hello from Southern Oregon

    Thanks Harley! I have to admit, this feels like the forum I've looking for.
