River in spring flow

[Digibill]

When I processed this photo I was worried that the trees would be a distraction so I darkened them in light room.CC's appreciated

I notice you had your camera white balance set to manual which brings me to ask, why so blue? The original scene would have appeared more like this:



I adjusted the white balance. Also, your photo's ICC profile specifies the Adobe 1998 color space. That's going to cause a lot of people viewing the photo to see it incorrectly since their web browsers are not color managed. To have the best chance that people on the Internet will see the photo as you see it, assign the sRGB color space to the photo before you upload it.

I actually like the blue water...it looks potable. It maybe a touch too cold, maybe warm it up a touch.
I do think the pic is too dark, and wondered why you took the trees out...

Awesome shot, I agree! Spring is the perfect season for river flow shots. Here are some of mine

I kind of like the blue,I did not know that about that about the color space.Forgive me I have no idea how to change it,I just started shooting a couple of months ago.

I thought they really did not add to the picture as they are kind of lifeless looking to me.as far as being dark it probably is the laptop monitor I'm using at this time.
