spring steam

I'm a long time lurker finally working up my nerve to post. I recently posted this photo in the landscape area and found a kind reception. I've put on my thick skin and would appreciate some constructive criticism from the tough crowd.

Very nice photo. I like the bright green in the immediate foreground. Keep up the good work!

AWESOME! Nice work, really. Love the colors. The long shutter/moving water thing I think I see people do way too much, usually applying it to a badly composed shot just for the effect.

This is not the case here. It works very nice for me. Love it.


my only real comment is maybe crop the top down a little to lose the trees, it's kinda busy up there, & my eye got caught up there a little. Crop out the base of those trees, and the fallen trees on the left, & your eye moves nicely down the ferns to the water. Just my humble opinion.


Otherwise for me, excellent!

That is a great shot, I love the water and the coloring is really good. I agree with Jeff about the cropping.

I like it. Nothin I would change, altho I would explore the crop suggestion just to see how it loooks.

I like it. Where did you take this picture? That's a nice forrest.

JeffreyP- I appreciate the suggestion and I think you're right.


cjm- Thanks, It was taken at Limekiln State Park just south of Big Sur on Highway 1 in California last weekend.
