Fallen Tree Bridge.

This is another shot from my cedar creek expedition a couple of weeks ago.

I love the composition here. On my monitor the colour looks a little oversaturated but that could be because my world is white and gray right now.

The composition is wonderful as Bambi said....nice find!
For me though, the colours are way oversaturated, especially the greens.
Hope that helps - Marko

Thanks guys. I did bump the saturation a bit, and I think I know why I felt I needed to do that.
Any other critique? Crop?

I took a heap of shots of this scsI'll have a go at fixing it after I get some more feedback, thanks.

A couple of things strike me about this: (1) I think some work on levels and curves would help; there are too-deep shadows (along/under the log) and over-bright highlights (Tops of the rocks, background whites). I like the framing of the image, that is, the use of the trees to enhance the lines of the creekbed, but I'm not such a fan of the water going toward the background.

As the others have said ... the composition is good.

Saturated colours can work in landscape and I often do that myself but greens are one thing I almost always back off. I usually have to back the yellows off actually to achieve the desired result.

This was a difficult shot for a single exposure! A very high dynamic range to deal with which has blown out the rock tops and a few tree trunks in the background, as well as created those very deep shadows under the main log.

Because of the high sun I think a lot of shadow needs to be there ... our eyes expect it to be there but some dodging in those shadows would help I think.

I'd try burning in those hot spots I mentioned as well.

There's a lot of Chromatic Aberration in the smaller, bright sticks to the left of the frame as well which could be corrected. There are enhancing the out of focus areas there a bit much as they are.

I don't see a better crop for this one really. I just tried holding up a card to simulate a crop or two but really I like how the stream appears from the right and flows along and we can see it disappear to the left.

I really love the movement in the grasses in the foreground. I know some people don't but for me it shows some life other than the water.

I think that you should desaturate the green in the background.
Also looks like your highlights are blown out.
