[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My last photo was taken only a few footsteps away from this POV and facing the other direction. I am standing on a footbridge crossing the small river that flows from Grinell Lake into Lake Josephine. I took this photo because of the trees that were curved over the water and framing the mountain in the back.

definitely prefer this one, it has something extra to it that the last one didn't.

Nice colours and DOF, great POV, excellent composition and I just love those mountains.

Hi Niek, good colors, angle, composition and POV, well done.
Nelson

Hi Niek,
Beautiful mountains as always...
It is interesting to see how the river slowly takes the foundation for the nearest fir trees!
Wonderful colours and what is left of snow adds to the beauty of the place...
Greetings,
Pablo -

hi Niek!!

Very pretty.. especially the mountains in the background are good sharp where most of the times in this pictures they are a little blurry. Think this is because you should in RAW here.

Very good shot

Hi Niek, nice view. I like the way the trees bend into the frame from both sides and cast shadows on the water. Excellent backdrop with the mountains, well exposed colours, good lighting and very good details. Great work TFS.

Hi Niek,
I agree, the trees make a nice natural frame. Something quite LOTR about this shot. Beautiful detail and colours, quite a range of colours across the water. As always great exposure and perfect detail, it looks like a beautiful place to spend some time.
Regards,
Adrian

This is beautiful Niek! I think I know right where you were standing. After you cross the bridge ( going to the right in this image) does the trail fork off to the left and go up to meet the Grinnell Glacier Trail?
I'm trying to remember if I took a shot from the same vantage point. I don't think so...and am wondering why not! It is a very nicely composed and exposed image with good DOF and color saturation. I want to go back there!

TFS

Evelynn : )

PS

I just looked at my originals from my Glacier trip. I did take 4-5 shots just a little to the right of yours and each one is worse than the last...just awful...over exposed and underexposed and trees cut off...you'd have a field day critiquing them! I've learned so much!!!

Hi Niek!
My first thought upon seeing this image was: "Gee, this must have been taken with a really wide lens, look at the trees on the sides". Turns out it doesn't have too much to do with extreme optics. I like the composition with the two tallest trees framing the mountains in the background and well saturated colors. Congratulations,
Mark

Hi Niek,
Beautiful! That is a great view. Colorsaturation and detail look great. You overall composition is very good. I really like those trees leaning toward the center of the shot. I hope you are not running out. I love these!

Much more dramatic direction, Niek. Really well done. Great subject, composition, lighting, exposure, and colors.
Mike
P.S. If anybody doubts your colors, they can look at Evelynn or mine.

Bonjour Niek
C'est une excellente prise de vue ! Grande composition et belles couleurs, bon contraste entre le foncé et la pâle des montagnes. Merci pour le partage .
bravo et au revoir...JP

Beautifull picture. I like the first 2 trees in the picture that angles towards the river. Coulors, DOF, lighting well balanced. Good job.

Hello Niek,
The POV is wonderful the majestic mountain make a excellent back drop for this river scene. Very well composed landscape.
Sky

Hoi Niek,
Prachtige plaat, in het bijzonder de haast buigende bomen over het riviertje. De foto kan zo in een kalender (of is dat een belediging? :-))
Groet,
Hans

Love it...the mountain, the trees and the water..all make a perfect photo for me...TFS
Donna :o)

Hi Niek.
Amzing...Peaceful...Fresh...I'm getting relax... TFS my dear friend. :)
With my best wishes.
Fevzi

Very nice shot Niek. Any idea why the trees curved so much in this area? Water/Wind? TFS!
