I fave this one. I think it's the best one in my opinion.

Like this one too, Ryan.

If I may though, the area of the sky might be approached a tad differently in post processing.

Here you go, some creative food for thought: Tony Kuyper Photography - Tutorials

In particular, take a look at the 'Luminosity Masks' and 'Luminosity Painting' tutorials contained in the above link.

Note: The above is, more or less, for Photoshop, along with accompanying screenshots ... still think you can extrapolate on the information contained if need be.

Your composition of the setting is most certainly a strength of your photo here.

And needless to say, very challenging lighting conditions. On that note, not quite sure (can't recall, my apologies) what camera you have in hand. Which could segue to some tips/advice on metering, et al. Perhaps add your make and model into your accompanying narratives?

Carrying on ...

Nice mood and feel to your photo here.

And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

My goodness how breathtaking beautiful this is!!! Right to the faves it goes!! Very well done my friend:)

Wow thats Beautiful!!! Nice shot =)

Well, don't stop now! Tranquil serene setting. I love the details across the rocks and shaded greenery. Excellent work. Saved to stare at more.

On my desktop now. Great shot!

Outstanding Ryan!

Viewed your others also, but this is the BEST of the Bunch.
S&F to Best of!

I like how you have captured the light down the center of the river and the milky look of the river is spot on well done.

loved the green tunnel and light in the water. It gives a sense of calmness (is that even a word??)...beautiful shot.

This is lovely. The greens and water just mesmerizes me. Id love to see this as a picture on a wall. What a peaceful setting this is. Fav'd and thanks for sharing!

Wonderful place, beautifully captured. Thanks for sharing, Ryan.

Nice work Ryan, the exposure time has blurred the water just the right amount to make it look smooth and shimmery without being overdone. The light is lovely, coming from the water and filtering through the trees. Very tranquil.

It looks like you could take your shoes off and wade right in.Awesome shot.Thanks for sharing with us.

Nice shot...I'm with Les on this one. The composition is perfect, with the creek disappearing into the center of the shot. I like the work with the dodging tool, I use dodge and burn all the time to selectively adjust a certain area of the shot. The little bit of sky is a bit distracting...I know its hard to leave a bright white sky hovering at the top of the image, but having the gray spot (I'm assuming over-burning in that area) attracts the eye just a little more I think. You could have cheated and clone-stamped some of the trees to cover up that area, but that all depends upon whether you mind doing that or not. I personally don't, but others don't like to "manipulate" in that way. Still, nicely done!!

This is just beautiful - I don't think there is anything more to say -

Definitively a masterpiece. There nothing to say. I'll download to refresh my desktop with this amazing work.
Congratulation and thanks for having shared your ability.

Beautiful! Was this taken in Oregon?
