The Truckee river in California,

[Lou Frasier]

I took this this afternoon while coming back from picking up a load in sparks,nevada.the only thing I did was slightly crop the right sidewhat do you guys and gals think of it.

I think the composition is nice. A better time of day. Sunrise or set would help. It could use another element though. I am not sure what? A horse, something. Nicely done though.

Yes, nice place and another time of day would be better. I hear Truckie is the coldest place in California. I guess this pic could pass for Nebraska. nice curve of the river.

Truckee has the record for coldest recorded temperature in the Continental US, if I remember right. Donner Pass is only about 10 or 15 miles from where this photo was taken. That might give you some perspective.

Its great to see a picture of a scene that I am so familiar with. Being an Avid Fly Fisherman I fish the Truckee on a regular basis. Its only about 45minutes from my house. If you happen to shoot this scene again try and tighten it up and wait for a couple of Fly Guys to start fishing. It will change the scene completely. Good job and thanks for the post.

I'm thinking you can really artzy it up by going sepia and then age it up a bit to make it look like it was taken in the 1880s.

But you should definitely jazz up the sky some.

your advice is much appreciated,I am hoping to be able to get that way again when it is snowing so i can try and get some shots of the river when it is snowing,:thumbsup:
