Nice work on all of these, Kathy, and the last one is my favorite.
Thanks, Jaymatt. I love that point in the river. I like how it looks like a "BIG" river right there. And it's deep enough that people aren't driving through it!

You must love a challenge! Those would be excellent results in good conditions let alone the conditions you described. (I could have a good time in post with the 3rd image trying to get even more separation between the mountains. Operative word, 'trying')
BTW I found that not being stealthy when walking out there would lower the risk of a close encounter of the snake kind. TR was wrong! Walk heavy (and carry a big stick)

I'm still trying to get a bit more separation. I'm going to try NIK. This was totally done in LR using the various colour channels. I played for a bit until I got something I liked. The original was pretty flat.
Yes, walk heavy, carry a big stick and have a spotter who isn't focused on looking through the camera! And hopefully the spotter carries a gun!

Very nice set Kathy - I especially like #4 with the reflection in the water.

In Arizona we come to expect sunshine. So when clouds cover the sky on a day I intended a shooting, things stood still. They burned off, and I left for the other side of the valley. I was in search of the confluence of the Salt and Gila Rivers. I had no idea where it actually was, and Google and my GPS weren't much help. Besides, it's 1/2 way to California! But I found it.
The entire set is gorgeous. I particularly like the Estrellas in cloud

Thanks! The first one made me feel like I'd left AZ for somewhere else. And I also like the BW. Haven't done one in a while.
