Connetquot River

[Joe Colozzo]

I realy don't know how they call this a river, but hey I didn't name it. This is an area in the park that is set up for Fly fishing. All C&C welcomed

I have seen much smaller rivers on the west coast. Love the colors here.

Have to agree with Ben - lots of water bodies out here along the left coast get called rivers with a lot less water than that. The colors and reflections make this a very pleasant view. Are the small platforms for viewing or are the fishermen supposed to stand on them?

This is really cool Joe! Love the fall colors in this.

Wowser - I just dropped my computer mouse right into the stream - (uh, river, umm uh, whichever), when I saw this! What a crackerjack capture this is! Colors are stunning, and as I am starting to notice with your images, the perspective is very nice, putting me standing right in the river (looking for the that stupid mouse. Wow, this water is pretty dark!)

In all seriousness though, this image stopped me in my tracks. Really beautiful work!

Thank you Ben, I just wish I understood the "what makes it a river thing better".

Thank you Alan, and yes both for fishing and viewing.

Thanks Jim. It was a crazy small window and the colors where very spotty to where they were. It was also weird that some trees were brown and Barren while others still green.

Thank you so much Mike, I have a snorkle mask and I'll look for your mouse over the weekend!

This is really nice.

The perspective and colors are wonderful here, Joe.

 

[Bill Crawford]

Nice shot Joe!

This is a lovely invitation to wade up that river into that bright yellow light. Terrific light, good composition with the branches arching over the river keeping your gaze enclosed plus a great range of colours in the foliage. This is probably a European thing but I think that the blue reflection is a touch oversaturated.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Beautiful. Like others have said the perspective is excellent, how did you get out there, a bridge?

Beautiful scene Joe, it has good lines and beautiful colors!
Imho Ken has a point, the FG is a bit over, same with the sky, i would back off a bit and leave the sat in the trees...

Thank you Bill

Thanks Jim. I would love to say I sucked it up and did a manly thing like used a kayak or walked out there in waders to get the shot, but no. It was a bridge with no arch to it, basicly level to the bank on either side, used my flip screen and put it on the deck of the bridge to compose.

Thank you guys, I didn't notice the over saturation on the blues until you pointed it out, then I'm like how did I miss that?
Here is a quick fixed version

The fixed version is definitely improved. Wonderful colors! Did you take any zoomed in a little more to really fill the frame with the color?
