A little slice of Rocky Mountain National Park

[ccd333]

Not the typical mountain grandeur....but I found this peaceful evening scene along the now ice free Fall River quite appealing. I chose a somewhat longer shutter speed to slow the pace of the water to suit the mood I thought it conveyed. Thanks for looking.

I'd say crop a bit out of the top to lose the sky, it distracts from the rest of the photo. Other than that, nice photo. Good colors. I like it.

funny - i'm headed there on Sunday for a few days for camping and pictures. How busy was it?

Nice picture by the way - I like that you slowed the shutter.

Sorry ccd333. Won't edit one of your pictures again without asking. Sorry.

I guess I'm to blame for not specifying, but I don't care for your reposting without asking. You could have just left it with your original "written" critique. I would have gotten it.

I originally had the very top cropped out, then decided to leave it on a whim. I like it both ways. I could see why you think it distracting.

I think the color saturation bump is way off. I think the original is an accurate representation of the scene, and the remake looks like a consumer point and shoot rendition.

I have now added my preference for photos NOT okay to edit.

Ashfordphoto....not too busy. This time of year it is still in transition at the Park. Keep in mind the snowstorm that's hitting up there right now....supposed to be dumping over a foot of snow by Saturday's end.

I know - I'm super excited about it

Oh, sorry about that. I didn't even think to check if it was okay to edit your photos. My mistake. Won't happen again. Sorry.

I'd say the picture is great. I like the slowing of the shutter speed. You captured nice effect.

 

[ccd333]

No sweat, Trenton. I appreciate your candor and willingness to delete the image.

Very nice. Is that Elk in the background?
