Converging Streams

[ST1]

Following on from my Swaledale images which I posted recently. Here's one from one taken in very harsh light, from one of my favourite little places, it has so many potential views in a very confined and peaceful area. I suspect that it would have been a lot noisier when the lead miners were working.

That's an area with some real potential for some close up shots of the water and rocks Peter. Very peaceful.

Hi Peter. Nice place and nice image. IMO if you crop all of the sky , you will get another nice composition

[Shadowman]

Nicely presented, makes the eyes roam all over.

That's really interesting. The composition as is nicely leads my eye to the top right area. If cropped as Binnur suggests, it leads my eye to the lower left area. Both are very nice.

Like this do you mean Grahame?

[Mike Buckley]

That's a real winner, Peter. A beautiful scene combined with dramatic action in the water. Well done!

Thanks for the crop suggestion Binnur, is this what you had in mind?

[ST1]

Thanks Binnur, John and Mike for stopping by and commenting on this set of images, much appreciated.

Hi Peter , they are all lovely images Yes, the crop I meant was something like this but I wouldn't crop from right side so much, I would leave about 2/3 of the big rock in the frame.

Exactly Peter, great composition and the water captured at the right speed. I was also thinking along the lines of much closer shots of those perfect rocks with the growth.

I shall revisit the location Grahame and see if I can get some better images of some individual rocks and green slimy stuff
I shall have to take my wellies to get in and close. Nice Smugmug site you have Grahame, well done, enjoy your retirement.

Yes that does look like an area with many possibilities for some "microscapes". Sometimes less is more. One could wander up and down that stream for quite a while looking for opportunities. Doing so on a cloudy day may be most productive.

Regarding the first image, I agree with Binnur that the version with the sky cropped out is more appealing. Leaving the right side alone and cropping down into a pano format with the stream running diagonally across might be interesting.

Thanks for your comments and suggestions Dan, much appreciated

Moving the image in Lytebox I thought of the same crop as Binnur suggested...but then you already did it, so I have the mind to go back to bed knowing you did it already... Yep! the first image is very nice to start with but made it better with the crop suggested. Love it, mate!

Gorgeous place. Reminds me of my childhood playing in the water among the rocks and ferns. Great captures.

First image is nice, and the second is superb

I would have this one framed to display on my wall.
