I think you have a great subject, at a great time of the year and are very close in your composition in #2. But I think the contrast is to high so the darkness of the lower half makes the mill look more washed out than it really is. I hope you don't mind, but I tried to show you what I mean and adjusted your image by opening up the shadows and toning down the highlights.

Would like to see your ideas, thanks
I was thinking something like this. I am sure you could find more "sub-images" in your original shot as well. I tend to stress composition over pixel-peaking.

Thanks Dave, I really like the look of what you did. i am not that good in photoshop or other programs, and have not tried to do much with them but I can see how just a little tweaking can pull out details and improve the overall picture...John

I am trying to learn to "see" more in my pictures. Most of the time I need to crop a little tighter Thanks for the suggestions.

Couple of shots from this week. What do you think?
Other than the fore ground being a little dark maybe a "half stop" they are very nice images.

I like the second composition best. You can go back after you post and add titles like numbers or names to help discussions. I think HDR would help the large difference of bright water and dark shadows. I would also erase the man in picture 2, he is not the subject. I wish I had this locations to experiment. David

The second one is beautiful, jcsnell! Personally, I'd like to see the forgroud just a tad lighter.
