Simply sparkling:-)) I'd love to bathe my feet in that cool flowing water! Lovely image dj!

@Linerberry: Cheers Liners, but actually -- i think this water was hot! ;) i believe this was runoff from the hot springs... but don't remember exactly -- but it would certainly have been much cooler by the time it got here! ;) either way -- it would have been pleasant on the feet!!

It is the most beautiful season of the year.
The nature adorns itself with the most beautiful colors before winter.
This image is poetic ; the water passes by as time.

The leaves are already changing to a bright and beautiful color! Very sparkling with the floating water!

I think I like this one slightly better than the b&w, I am a sucker for green and gold tones and this is so picturesque, how nice it would be to just sit and spend an afternoon there. Wonderful image DJ and thanks for you comments on my page today, I don't know how you get time to go back over what you missed, but it is very much appreciated my friend!

Lovely! I think i prefer this colour version. It looks so much more 'alive', the water has a sparkle to it that does'nt show up quite the same in the B/W version. Still it's good to try out these things, 'one never knows' How are you getting on with Photoshop 3 ?

That could be here and now DJ, rather than how ever many thousands of miles away it is. That water looks good enough to drink.

A pretty image, Jaycee. Looks tame after what you usually post.

I could just picture myself here paddling around in this water.... it looks so relaxing... like I can hear the water bubbling down the brook...

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
I think i prefer this one because of beautiful colors of autumn in trees. A pleasant shot.

@Evelyne Dubos: Cheers Evelyne -- thank you!!! :)
gbe from kansas city, United States
i like it, but of course the b&w is the stronger photo!

dobbino from Cape Town, South Africa
Recognised it immediately. Not sure which version I prefer, but think maybe this time the BW has the edge?
13 Oct 2008 4:53pm
@dobbino: Thanks Rob!! And i agree too -- i do like this -- but there is something lacking here... not sure what it is or why, but i felt the same way just before i decided to see what it looked like in b/w... and then once i saw it in monochrome, i decided to post in b/w! some sort of extra magical weight in the tinted b/w!! :)
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
Yeah, prefer the bw to this, there is something not right with the colour, perhaps a bit washed out.
13 Oct 2008 7:28pm
@Graham Russon: thanks mate -- yeah i think due the backlighting of the leaves, the light isn't as clear -- and the color certainly not as radiant! i prefer the silvery tones of the b/w too!
Laurent from Lyon, France
splendid! I like the way you played with the sun light giving a beautiful picture!

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Good one, and this was not easy: the sun was in a very bad place.
Cheers.

With the autumn colours, the b/w just doesn't do it justice. Much prefer this one... washed out or not!!

The colours are so striking and this is such a crisp feeling (as in being able to feel the air)...you have a way of capturing the moment so perfectly. I'd love to just sit here and meditate awhile :)

RGB brings out the sharp tones of fall - clean, I like the texture of the water, it's palpable. This shot reminds me of my youth - fall days, carving a pumpkin, running around the rural hills of California.
