Wonderful photograph and composition - the water in contrast with the land has incredible visual interest for me in this photo! Great Work!

This may sound like a strange one Dave but It would be interesting to know what you think about this photo? I've been looking at it for a few minutes now and can't quite put my finger on what I like and dislike about it. . . . If that makes any sense.

@Mike: Its not what I wanted out of the shot when I took it Mike, if that makes sense. I shot this as a 7-shot HDR sequence, cos I wanted to bring out the sharpness throughout and have less in the way of shadows. Then my laptop died, which means I have enough trouble running CS3 at the moment, let alone Photomatix! I vaguely like how its some out, but it could be better! Thanks for the comment!
@Olivier Jules: Thanks Olivier

Very interesting.. the grass on either side of the river looks very dry and yet there is plenty of water in the river.. Nice shot!

I love the colors of the water in contrast with the brown outside!

I like how well you've processed this image to give the grassland(?) such a light look making it very attractive and a fine setting for the water flowing. the streaming greenery gives the water a look of motion that enhances the shot.

Muy parecida a la del día 29, o al menos es por la misma zona. Me gusta más en B&W.
Saludos.

Ive eventually Sussed this one out. I couldn't really pick fault with it but I felt a little something missing. Dartmoor ponies would be perfect, a third in from the right in the middle of the ground beyond the stream. That would have clinched it! Rounding them up to pose for you is another issue LOL. That's where a bit of luck comes into the occasion whereby something's there just when you need it. It's a good photo regardless. I noticed when I moved up to cs3 it was more demanding on my pc.
