Hi Richard,
Magnificent landscape!
I like a lot the way the water mixes with the snow, and its colour transition.
It's very good the framing and composition made here, very dynamic.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Hi Richard,
Great shot again and this POV illustrates the river scene differently. Nice details and colours and I like the calm water flow. Great DOF and the composition is top-class. Kudos.

This image of the Kettle is even better than the last. Very cool Richard. Looks like a nice quiet place to be alone and think..or drop a line!

Richard:
Very nice view. Good composition, the colors capture the time of the season. Ice is starting to break up so the suckers and walleye will be spawning soon.

Hi Richard

A very impressive shot - the frozen river especially. The ice stained with tanin is especially impressive. Lovely forms. Great exposure.

Hello Richard,
I like the composition of this shot of the Kettle River. Great perspective view of both the river and sky to form two meeting cone shapes and a fine diagonal composition in the FG. The snow-covered deciduous trees bending over the river bank is also a nice touch. I guess the brown colour in the ice is due to organic seepage from the surrounding forest, which also colours the water to varying degrees.
Must be a fantastic place for different kinds of wildlife.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Ivan

Great shot! Though the place is beautiful, but I don't think there is that much speciality in this place. But the way you captured it has made it special.Very good work.

Hello Richard,

My first visit to your gallery and you have beautiful collection of pristine landscapes.

This is beautiful perspective of the river with trees lining up the banks giving depth to the perspective. The snow under the trees blended well with the sandy bank.

Well done!

Regards,
Jusni

Hello Richard,
Wonderful scene well captured, the Kettle looks like it is a tea colored river. It appears to have a straight run to your point of view which gives this beautiful landscape real depth, thanks Richard.

Hi Richard,

I think I like this one even more than the first! I love the contrast of the colors. A wonderful view of looking down (or up) the river with the ice and snow. The framing of the river by the trees on the banks is excellent.

I see in this image something I struggle with in every image I process... sharpness.

There is a little haloing here and there showing that you took careful effort to sharpen the image. But even with that it still comes out looking kinda 'unsharp'. It is some kind of contrast issue probably caused by both camera and image editing software. In digital photography image quality is still negatively affected by internal camera processors.

I don't know what to do about that but hope digital cameras continue to evolved to the point that this problem of early digital photography fades as a relict into the past.

Hi Richard, I like the high contrast in this series of pictures, the snow with the dark trees, the dark rocks and the water, it is popping in the eyes. The angle of view is really nice too, as the eyes travel far into the frame, sinuously like the river itself. Everything is super sharp and the little islands of ice in the water are really nice. Thank you!

Hi Richard.
We have not winter this year as in previous one. And I like to see true winter shot despite the temperature is not so low. Nice reproduction of the state of winter weather. Impressive POV and scene at whole with excellent details of all image. Exposure is spot on as ell as the composition. Well done and TFS.

I really like this image Richard. The composition is wonderful with both the triangle of the sky and the lines of the river leading one deep into the scene. Foreground sharpness is nice as is the exposure and color.

Hi Richard,
Very nice picture with very nice and subtle colors. Great DOF and POV... I may sound a bit silly..but where does it get that yellow color from?

I liked this one more than the previous.

Hi Richard,
wow, what a wonderful scene, pure winter. The composition is perfect and has created huge depth from your POV here. Details and focus seem sharp throughout, especially for f/4.5! Exposure is also very good...well done!
