Since I am having difficulties with posting several photos together, I'm settling with one. When I made the picture smaller, I think it became slightly fuzzier. Oh well. Hope you enjoy it.

Pretty! This was really nice, and wasn't that fuzzy. The left side, espicially the mountains in the back, were a little bit hazy, but other than that, I couldn't find anything. I thought it was pretty well balanced, and I liked how the sky sort of added contrast by making it lighter. Gold star!
So it goes.

Meadow lark! It's June!

Whoa, this is so breathtaking! I love how the photo draws your eyes in to the vanishing point of this all. It's so pretty! And the stones! Eek, they look so cool. *does not have a river stone obsession*

This is absolutely amazing, meadow. Keep it up! I love it!

Hi, Meadow! ^^

Oh, the lighting in this is perfect!
And the quality is very sharp. This is a very clear shot, Meadow. Very nice. The sky is so blue, too. ^^
And like June said, I like how our eyes are drawn to the vanishing point along the river.

The only thing I guess I could really point out is that the angle of the shot it a little off... but that's probably just me. I think it's the hills in the background that are bugging me. xD
Really nice job, though!

Oh my gosh. This is beautiful!

Do you live in the foothills (of the Rockies) or someplace like that?

The foreground, background and everything else are just perfect. The river draws your eye to the center of the picture, even though it's not the main focus. The way things bend makes the river's end become the focal point.

I find this looks like the river from "Just around the river bend" in Pocahontas.

Actually, I live at least five or even six hours northeast of the mountains. And those mountains are in British Columbia. This is in a river valley (or provincial park) that our neighbour took my brother and I to. I love taking photos and I have plenty of this river and another. This one flows into a much larger one ^_^ Those 'mountains' in the back are just very large hills. I'm glad you all like this. It's one of my favourite pictures.

Wow this looks like it could have come out of a professional photo magazine! It is so nice! I love the angle that you took the picture at, because you get everything in there! The river, the rocks, the other side of the river, trees, and the sky. It is also almost hard to believe it really exists. It looks like someone made it up and drew it on a computer to make it look really realistic! The time of day you took it at actually made a big effect. I am sure you werent really actually trying to take it at a specific time of day, but still. I really REALLY like it! You really have an eye for some things... :)
