A good composition and the colours are superrrr! The reflections give this one some extra beauty... so honest ; ) Very good post my friend Nigel! Mich

Hey Nigel, It is great to see you posting again and so very sorry the get-together was cancelled. I was looking forward to the pics. from it.

As far as this image is concerned I think it is a beauty and worthy of the V.B. I wonder if you used some HDR treatment on it. I like the color's vivid but not overdone and the textures in this are superb. Of course I love those reflections.

Would be hard pressed to find any flaw in this scenic wonder. Seems a complete beauty with diverse textures and light. First thing that caught my eye are the two distinct shores. One full of light the other with sublime shadows. Topped off with that sky and reflections there is so much to see and ponder it holds attention for a long while. Wonderful work.

Well, I can't imagine a more perfect scene! This must surely be a corner of the Garden of Eden. The composition is excellent and the colors are so deep. Wow!

I like how the Eye is drawn into the Image.
Clarity, Color and Detail are all Excellent.
Well Done Sir Nigel!

Hi Nigel, glad to see you again,and what a fantastic scene
you have posted!!?? The colors of sky and clouds are terrific!
And,the reflection looks fanatabulous!!
Great capture and 10/10 for sure Nigel.

Super shot, so tranquil. Very well done.

Love the comp, Nigel, and the way the trees seem to be leaning protectively towards the river. Something about the color, though, that does not seem quite natural. Whether it's the color of the sky and a variation of it reflecting in the water or just a little too much red overall. Just MHO, it really is a fine photo.

Just beautiful Nigel! Great HDR and a gorgeous scene!

I love the HDR for this, Nigel. Excellent work. Judging from the composition, and the way the sunlight hits the golden banks, it would get a score in the eighties. Just my guess. Very nice, and I'm glad to see you posting again.

Like the others here before me I love the scene and the way you composed this photo. I also like the lighting and the contrasts in shade/sunlight of the two banks. The details are excellent too. A little bit more subdued colors would make it look even better, but that is just my humble opinion. A wonderful post!

I can tell it is HDR. Very well done by the way. The lighting on this is superb. Color is nice and not too complicated at the same time. Great captures Nigel!

Spot on Nigel..It would be interesting to see a shot below them small falls..Richie.

Great shot my friend. The colors are gorgeous. The pop in them makes the photo really something special to look at.

>>>> sasraku was here <<<<

Nice work my friend,

Mark.

Great sunlight and reflections. I liked also the detail in all of the rocks in the stream.

That water is to die for. The rocks on both sides of the water are to die for. The sky.......just a tad too blue. The extremely bright patches of green grass on the right-out of sync with the rest of the colors. All in all, a VERY attractive image. Keep-pah!

Such stunning and vivid colours here Nigel, I love this it makes me feel like I'm in the brook and wading upstream. Well to me this is a real Winner and great piece of work

A really fine post. Nice work on this with the HDR and all. It's a most interesting scene; kind of like in the wilderness. Momma is right about the green patch on the right I think. Wonderful reflections and great perspective too. Excellent art, Nigel.

Hi Nigel...great composition here. At first glance,this appears to be something that one would frame and hang on the wall. Upon close inspection and critiquing it, there is a patch of way too green grass in the lower right of the image. The sky is too blue to be real (to me) although the reflections are pretty cool :). The jury is out on whether there is a tad too much red in the upper right. I keep studying it..something seems a bit 'off'..there, does that help? lolol
Overall, the image is definitely eye-catching.....Glad to see you relaxing with your camera again!!
Thanks for sharing this with me :=)

Hi Nigel, great post! I like the colours and the setting, although there may have been a little more visible of the sky for me :).

You really should put this in the VB Nigel, it's superb, the colours are particularly wonderful and it's going straight to my desktop. Honestly, I can't fault it, well done.

i agree about the patch of bright green grass.. other than that i love it, tis gorgeous!!

A Super shot in every way..Love it

great effect and gorgeous colors ..excellent shot:)

What a nice shot, of course I am biased about the country side you have captured lol. As mentioned the only think I would change is that vivid green patch, but only coz it was pointed out. To be honest my eyes were drawn more down the stream itself.

Oh my goodness! This is beautiful. Thanks for posting this.

Super Sir Nigel. Suffice it to say wading through this would be pleasurable. FDR and all.

Nice sky and reflections. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent use of the HDR Nigel, as it is so subtle. Love the colours in this one too.
