Forces of Nature

A river of crystal clear aquamarine water carves its way into the rock

resulting in some cool formations, cascades and pools. Sunset shot after a

night of snow. The discrepancy in colour between sky and water is real and

not due to filtration.

Really great shot. Love the composition and colors. With all of the filtration used, how long was the exposure? TGW

10 seconds at f22 and ISO 50.

Superb image KK, the colors are fantastic and the composition is impeccable. I particularly like the foreground elements through the water. Beautiful work. Regards - michel

Excellent. 7. Volker

great shot. the foreground space works well to set the scene for the background

Wonderful use of contrasting colors. As far as the color of the water and the color of the sky, looks just fine to me. To my eye, the upper portion of the scene, especially the peaks, the foliage and the rocks above the water appear excessive in contrast, with deep blacks, while the bottom of the stream has no blacks. It makes the scene top heavy exposure wise from my perspective. The thumbnail grabbed me, but when I saw the tar-like blacks in the mid range of the scene, it failed. So much detail in the water and rocks of the stream and then deep blacks with limited detail in the distance looks out of balance to me. Of course, it could just be me!

Mark there is naturally more blacks in the midground and peaks, these are known as the Black Cuillins. However I think you're right about the balance and I'll add a bit more contrast in the foreground to match. Thanks for your commentary.

Applause, applause, applause .... / 7 /

Great!!! From foreground to background... a fantastic succesion of colors and elements of the composition. Bravo!!

Definitely has a wow factor. Very impressive.

Wonderful landscape I love each one of the colours. Excellent exposure time.  The perspective is terrific. 7
