| At first glance I thought this was taken on Peebles Island. After reading your description I see I was pretty close, only maybe 10 miles away! Congrats on the blue ribbon, fellow upstate NY'er :) |

Congratulations! What a beautiful, image.. This is my moon river dream fantasy find exactly like I have visioned... So there is a river for me to find out there somewhere with the moon over head and lovely surroundings...
All but this one was hit at the right time, the right moment, by the right person for a outcome as this...
Blue ribbon well deserved...
The colors are so rich and warm yet cool too... mmmm its fall... |

love the hues here, they all compliment eachother well here , leaves match sky and the river almost appears as a stream or creek at first glance. I had no idea thats a cliff on the left. More like a bank, but I see the depth now.

| I'm speechless! This is just so beautiful. If this doesn't win the blue, I'm throwing rotten eggs at DPC. I wonder if this has HDR work - if so, it's a great use of the technology. In any case, I'd like to know how this image was done. But outside of technical stuff, it is just a great composition, so clear, yet it has such softness to it. WOW. 11 from me (if there were an 11). |

| Nicely composed riverscape. Captures the feeling of fall using a somewhat surrealistic presentation. The detail in the delicate branches and foreground leaves are its strongest characteristics. Though the bright area in the center of the sky adds drama to the composition it is a bit over exposed. You might want to try toning that down a bit to see how that looks. The right side riverback seems a bit "busy" with its great amount of detail. Perhaps adding a little blur on just that area would soften its overcluttered look. Overall this is a very, very nice shot. |
