Title: Confluence
Post by: KMRennie on June 29, 2017, 08:07:34 am

This is supposed to be the dry season in the Lake District. However this location, Greenup Gill, is approx 5 miles from Seathwaite, the wettest place in England with 12ft of rain a year, so I was prepared for the rain but the mid 50s temperatures with a chilly wind were challenging. The flat light doesn't help but the Becks are full of nice little falls. Hope you like it. Ken

I like it.  It has a nice pleasing composition and I like the color rendition.

Nice and wide, there's a lot to explore in this shot.
Bravo.

More falls further up the right hand stream. There are multiple falls like this for a mile or so. The flat light isn't great but a spot of sun will produce distracting highlights. Perhaps lots of patience on a soft sunshine and shadow day and merge the two? The four mile walk uphill from the car park is a bit of a pain on the off chance of enough water in the beck and flattering light. Ken

Very nice image, comp, color etc. Your use of slow shutter is great with these btw.

The light and mood works for these in my opinion. Really nice processing. Great work.
