A few from a recent visit to the rocks.
Crituqe, rework, comments welcomed.
All shots taken with a Canon 20d and a sigma 10-20 sporting a polarizer.
Light was very harsh for most of these.

I'm vasilating on this one, I was going for the reflection and fall colors, but I think it is a little too busy?

Great shot. I see what you mean about the light. It could use a bit more fall color to spice it up but otherwise very nicely done.

Would look better with some snow on the mountain!
f5.6,,,A little too much forground maybe?

 

[jack lumber]

Hello Dylan.
I bumped the saturation just a tad, I should have got the 3 fir trees a little off centre I'm thinking.

 

[jack lumber]

This one is a bit blown out, but I really like the array of greens,(not worked on)

 

[jack lumber]

I,m thinking its time to buy an nd filter or 2,,hey Christmas is coming,,hmmm

 

[Dylan]

no no I like the fir trees right where they are. Problem is they don't show any fall colors. Really everything is just right except for the one thing you couldn't control. Nature. She puts her trees where ever she wants em. Nice work. Regarding the second picture, I would crop out the foreground and give the tree's a bit more saturation. That should lead the viewer right to the mountain. Bummer about the snow.

5 sec exposure

 

[Peanuts]

My only question is how in the world did you manage to get a picture of Bow Falls on such a beautiful day with no tourists wandering around your picture!?
Great shots.

Oh my, that water is ever so CLEAR in that lake! Sooooooooooo clear. Amazing!

By the way, I quite like the idea of composition in #1 though I see why exposure was difficult. Could I "play" with it just a little, maybe?
