Hi Steve, to me this looks similar to a shot I took several years ago of a river in British Columbia, Canada. It threw me for a minute, the similarities are incredible. I wish I still had that shot available so I could show you, but the meandering river, and the rock in and by the river is very similar as is the topography around it. I'll bet you can catch trout in that river.

This shot of yours is a good one with good late afternoon, warm light. With it you've picked up great colour on the water and vegetation. The detail is sharp and very good throughout.

Thanks, John

A very nice composition! The foreground rocks really add depth to the image, I do think the shot would've been much more effective if a polarizer or Graduated Filter was used to deepen the colour of the sky, but other than that you've done a great job here!

Hi Steve,
what a great POV you chose here, shows us the deposition patterns of this wild looking river really well. And the view stretches alll the way down the valley. Looks like a great place to take my new Canoe i'm getting :o)

Hi Steve!

Very nice, very nice, but where are gay-hobbits my friend ? [did you saw Clerks II movie ?] Fantastic place, excellent colours and composition. As always NZ at its best.

Magnificent landscape shot, Steve!
Did you use a Polariser? The colours are all perfectly saturated and the contrast is superb!
Very sharp and crisp.
Excellent DOF.

Very well done!

Joe

Hello Steve,
What a wonderful view along this meandering river from a very nice POV. Excellent DOF too and crispy clear details and lovely colours.
It's always very nice to see landscape shots from countries where you haven't been!
Many thanks and cheers, Ulla

Steve, this landscape looks like a New World being discovered... I mean, the first people coming into America from Europe must have seen something similar... it is so pristine. I also always appreciate and admire people who wait for the good light. This light is wonderful, smooth and round like the stones in the foreground. My eyes travel from them to the beautiful mountain, using the way of the river. When I finally discover the clouds at the end, I finally see the whole scene. Superbly composed ;-)

Hi Steve,
Both version (Chris' and Yours) are very fine. Fantastic landscape, great composition, everything's on the right place, with the right colors. Seems like a quiet and peaceful place, not to mention it's pleasant to the eyes. The forests beside the creek must be perfect for fungi hunting. :)
Congrats, tfs, best wishes to You and Your family. László

Hi Steve

Yes, it looks very similar to mine. the only real difference is the intensity of the blues; I did use a polarizer. But your greens are better IMO. Great scene, perfectly composed and excellent sharpness. Hope you can get back through winter sometime and capture it with snow on the peaks.

cheers
Chris
