Marty- What makes this picture stand out immmediately for me is the depth of the picture and that stunning glow of the beautiful blue of the water and sky. That is a incredible look. Against the landscape it really is impressive. Love the compositoin also and the rocks and vegetation up front. Also the leaves speckling the water is a gorgeous look to. A work of art my friend.
Have a wonderful day. #8997204

"I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles....." What dazzling color...the autumn flavored trees, the bluest water, the crisp Fall sky! I can actually see the current of the river as it flows downstream...so beautiful, Marty! And what an appropriate name for this park...it sure looks like Heaven to me. (Hey, your swimming driftwood looks as tho it is pushing that mammoth rock ahead of it downstream!) #8998148

Awesome perspective and depth you capture in this image,Marty..
I like your angle of composition and the inclusion of tree trunk and rock to show the distance..Bold colors and beautiful blue sky..Well done..
I hear that praying mantis have a thing for Canon cameras,so I am glad I had Nikon and my camera was safe from been eaten by this beautiful creatures..LOL..
