This is getting to be quite a habit for you - traveling out-a-state! I'm proud of you, Big Guy!
Only because it pays well.

I don't carry because I have to, I carry because I get to. I like new things-
- when they're 40 years old! My pictures
The saddest thing in this photo are all the dying lodgepole pine trees on the mountain side at the left of the photo. Literally millions of lodgepoles are dying across Colorado and Wyoming.
I made my annual trip to the Salmon River Falls today - the only waterfall in Oswego County. The falls wasn't all that wonderful, but I did get a couple of photos of the stream below it. Which crop of this do you prefer?

I like this one because it is more focused on the falls. Pan up a bit, and crop the vertical band on the left. If something of interest were in the water in the larger one, then that'd be different.
The second stream pic is really cool. A little more yellow pop adds to the pic, but, how about a bit longer exposure to smooth out the flow in the foreground, instead of it being so choppy?
Beautiful pics, but, since you asked! Believe me, I've been under tougher critique and have learned so much because all the input is accurate! I hope my pics have improved with all the reading I've been doing!
I have to agree - I like the panoramic version better. As to opening up to include more of the stream, this next image does that, but I don't find Salmon River Falls all that photogenic, and the rocks to the left were getting full sun. Lots of Lightroom 2 exposure brushing kinda fixed it, but there still isn't much I like above the small falls.
It's a little better at this angle, but you lose the reflection of the rock wall on the water surface.
I will take out the left to get rid of the blurred branch. I probably should try for something in between.
As to critiques - I'm all for them. I post to a couple of photo critique sites that tell it like it is! Thanks all...

Yeah, ain't that the truth. For instance, as many "before" pics I took of my trees, I realized later that I didn't plan it too well and missed some good angles to compare with the "after" photos.
Enjoying all your photos, Eric, of Arches park and WOW to that 31-stitch image of Canyonlands park!
Vermilye - A hawk at your feeder! NEAT! Beautiful photos of Salmon River Falls. I agree with Marites, no matter what you do to the shot, they are beautiful.
JackD - Fabulous, simply fabulous Autumn photos you are posting, especially the one taken from the rest stop.
Pete - Loved your desert-exploring photos, lake and mountain range reflected in the Silver Bullet!
Bill - Nice to see you sitting on top of the painted Cadillac. You and Marilyn are surely having a grand and well deserved vacation!
Ol' Rube - Sunrise in Utah and Fall River in Idaho! Great, great, great!
Art - Loved your eastern shot sunset photos! Very nice!
Mtbuckeye - Is this your first posting here? If so, welcome to the thread. Thanks for sharing your strawberry reservoir fishing trip with us.
SisSG - What special memories those old pixs of you and your dad and brother must hold for you. Very special to see again, I'm sure, after so many years.
