Here's one from this morning.

Nice Job here Greg! The mist is a neat break in the frame and I love the light on the cars. This is a well planned image. I like it!

[Tyson L. Sparks]

Good one Greg, wish the train cars were more colorful.

Nice pic Greg,,,,just for fun I adjusted the hue only, a few negative notches and it gave the trains a slight reddish hue, bringing out the rust..?..

Go ahead and post it if you want to.

[jkriminger]

ok then..being a post hog that i am...its very slight. I also brought the sky into a little more blue..?..

[Greg McCary]

Nice work, It gives it a little more pop...

[jkriminger]

all depends on ur mood...oh..almost forgot to delete from gallery.....pls remind everyone.

[Didache]

Nice image - the specks (leaves?) in the water help to make the separation between the original and the reflection.

As an aside, I can't look at your river images without wondering where the fishermen are

Cheers

There's some of that light I am always talking about. Nice shot Greg.

[swmdrayfan]

In addition to what everyone else says, I think the trees frame this really well. I don't know if the shot would be as dramatic without 'em. Really nice comp here Greg.

[Greg McCary]

Thanks Cindy, Thanks Tyson
Thanks for your help JK
EOS you have made a believer out of me about when to shoot.
Mike, It's hard to avoid fisherman around the riiver banks this time of year. This one though was out of town. In Nearby Cartersville in some old stomping grounds.

Hmmm - It's almost a fantasy-type shot. With a little PP manipulation you could probably turn it into one of those. I love the reflection and composition overall. I think the weak pts of the shot are the overall lack of saturation, the sky (a bit too dull), and the leaves in the water that, to me, interfere with the feeling of tranquility. The cloud/fog is excellant.

colors, reflections, composition, depth, lines, all good stuff and combine for a very awesome photo. Nice shot.

I think the second version doesn't work for me with the blue sky because the blue of the sky isn't present in the water.

I'm for the original and echo what everyone else has said about composition.

Thanks for your input GB.
Thanks Mr. Yuck
Thanks Roger, I see what you mean and you are right.

Here's one from this morning.

That's a very appealing image but I'd go against Didache (so to speak!) and suggest that you clone out the specs in the water. That scene is dreamy and almost unreal but the specs break the smoothness and remind me that I am actually looking at reality... lol

Thanks Seb, I agree and will probably remove them before I print it. Thanks for your input.

Thanks Rick.....

Greg,

At this size the leaves in the water look like noise, but at a big print they may add to the photo rather than detract. Only you can tell as this is too small for us to make that call.

I would check it out full size before deciding to clone out.

I okay with it either way but just wanted to make sure you checked both versions before proceeding.

I agree Roger, my boss has a very good printer, HP 130 nr. I am going to get him to print me an 11x14 both ways.

[Tyson L. Sparks]

It would have been great if there would have been a fishing boat in the water. Is there anyway you get get on the bridge and shoot down?

If a train came by I would have to dive in.LOL A fisherman would have been nice. They were all over the place when I took this.

[Tyson L. Sparks]

How about trying the "Orton Effect" on this on, just to see what you can come up with.
