More river photography.

Very attractive, Russ. I might be tempted to clone out the rather ugly vertical pole to the right of the hanging stuff, though.

Larix deciduata (I think) alawys seemed to have an almost animate whisper to it...they have all turned copper and shed here but so interesting to see it in this company...looking forward to more...

Very nice Russ! Unusual subject matter (for me, anyway).

I am sure wandering around there is far less stressful than wandering around noisy streets!

Post by: amolitor on December 11, 2012, 10:25:53 am: This is very lovely. There's a bit of an Eliot Porter feel here, with the firm grasp of color and texture. As with Porter, I find the composition a bit.. I don't know how to say this clearly, "straight on" perhaps? It's not particularly subtle or complex, it feels like a faithful record of a beautiful thing, rather than a photograph apart from the thing itself?

This isn't a good thing or a bad thing, I don't intend it as a negative, merely as an observation.
