Spring Runoff

All comments appreciated.

It's a little darker than I would like, but every monitor is going to look different. I am guessing you also didn't want to blow out the whites in the corners.

Actually, it wouldn't be that hard to brighten the dark areas without (further) blowing out the bright corners, but I liked the darkness. The high contrast between the areas where the light penetrated the tree cover and where it didn't is what attracted me to the shot. Just a matter of taste, perhaps, but maybe more people would like it if it were brighter. Thanks for the input.

Here's a lighter version. I prefer the darker one. What do you think?
