    River

    Here are a few shots I took on our trip to the hot springs. I would love to know what people think (good and bad)

    Well, I'm sorry; can't say anything bad about these images, I love all of them, especially the first & last ones! All are absolutely stunning!

    I am interested in the rocks in the foreground in #1, are those smaller ones glued on the larger boulders?

    Thank you for the kind words Carol. As for the rocks, they are just balanced there.

    A set to be proud of Shawn! Take a moment to straighten #2 though as it seems to be tilting down to the left.

    Shawn ... love #1 for the balancing rocks. In my opinion, it could have been a better shot if you move to the left a little bit to balance the frame. But it's OK...it's your shot. And the last one is just superb. No nits about that one...

    Very well done Shawn, a good series. No 2 & 3 are my favourites and there's a good use of the foreground in all.

    No 4 is interesting in that the rock on the right almost appears floating.

    Thank you all for the kind words. I really appreciate the input. Shane I see what you mean by #2 looking a little tilted.

    Re: River

    The last image is stunning. The light pulls you into the upper left area in the trees and it feels like I am being taken some where. This may be a silly question but is the water moving towards the camera or away?

    Very nice. I like no.4, how the water leads you across the picture to the bright trees in the back.

    Edit is OK… always want to learn!

    Re: River

    I feel like the fly in the soup but…
    • I see there is an issue with the WB in these takes! Frame #1 being the one
    suffering the less from it!
    • There seams to be an other issue with the DoF… the eye can't find an anchor.
    • The horizon should be tweaked in 2 & 4

    The very strong quality in these takes is, IMO, the layered composition. Very cool.
