I like this! The texture in the water in the lower part of the image is really interesting and frankly, rather beautiful. That. coupled and contrasting with the warmer and calmer above create a lovely juxtaposition and make the image as a whole quite eye-catching. Nicely done!

I like the transition from the quiet, sunlit pool to the rapids with the the mottled sunshine on it-the two go together very well.

It appeals to me, too! Almost feels like surf, but the gold and green reflections say autumn creek. Lovely mix of what I assume is camera movement and subject movement.

Tom, Dennis, Diane, thanks. There was some camera wobble involved. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Don,

I am really enjoying this as it appeals to me as well. It is almost as if you have two moods here. You start off with the calm peaceful water up top, then transition into the turbulent full of energy water down below. I quite like the green/gold color combination in the upper section. Beautifully done.
