I agree. Although in this case I did not have a tripod. :D

Thanks Bram Boy, but you are being too kind. However, if you ever become the publisher over there give me a call. :D

I have to honest Bmac, its a pretty ordinary photo. I'd call it a snapshot.
Yes it has different colours but its mostly brown and green, not a pretty orange, red and yellow like I want fall shots to be. Maybe it would look better at a different stage in autumn.
The composition doesn't really do much for it either.
If I am after the story from the photo all I can see it saying is "scrubby riverbank".

Thanks for the critique and taking a look Lighthouse. If you have the time I would be curious as to your take on this photo:

overall: Excellent
color: that too is vibrant
composition: Yes, i agree that the white ripples are a little distracting. But that can be toned down. Good shot otherwise.

Thanks Rich. At times I get a decent snapshot or two. :D
