Hi Bruce... Why are all the trees in the back ground, leaning to the right? Looks like the horizon is off, yet the tree trunk on the left side seems to be straight. Something looks like it's way off. The water seems to be running uphill to me.

WOW! Picture perfect to me! Postcard Perfect!! Love it! I'm sure someone will find it can be improved upon but me, I like nature no matter what color or shape it's in and it appears you captured it all including the peace of mind that comes from being in a place like this. Thanks for bringing me back to NH and New England for a minute or two. (Vermonter but lived in NH too.)
The exposure of the moving water is beautiful.
Mike the treees in question in the background are opn the rivber bank and are in fact leaning. The 30 sec exposure might be the reason the water looks to be flowing up, s slower shutter sopeed would not have yielded the results I was seeking, but would have better identified the flow.
Thanks for your comments!

The water looks good, but everything looks too green, even the rocks. I'm guessing this is normal and not a WB issue.
Charlie, mid summer shooting in tghis location is indeed very very green, shady and mossy rocks prov ide this enviornment.
Appreciate your comment.
Bruce
I have hunted and fished at bear brookand as a youngster competed in archery tournaments there. I doagree that in summer time it is very green there, have you run accross any rattlesnakes yet, there used to be some there many yrs ago but the state brought in some king snakes to get rid of them. I dolike the photo and planto take some there myself next summer.

Got to agree that everything appears too green, however I think it is a WB issue due to the fact it was shot in the shade.
I am in the minority when I suggest that the moving water was shot at too long an exposure. I usually shoot such scenes, off a tripod, at a variety of settings so that I can select a "best" outside the camera. (It's hard to go back for a "redo")
All said, the only important thing is that you like the photo and that it brings back pleasant feelings.
I love the water in this photo. With the long exposure, it looks like liquid metal flowing over the rocks.
Under a thick canopy of trees the lighting could look green like that in real life. The lighting reminds me of some places in Olympic National Forest (completely different flora of course).
Hi Bruce AL here like to say that i fished bear brook for many years i'm from manchester great spot just to get away used to spend the whole day walking great shot.
I think you over did the slow shutter bit. It tended to blow out large portions of the water.
Al I appreciate the comment, I worked from 10 sec to 30 sec shutter speed and liked this version best. I certainy agree it could be improved.
Some NH favorites, Falling waters trail, franconia notch. Kennedy cascades, Dixville notch ( over the hump from the hotel, east bound) and a little park with a killer brook in Merrimack right on rte 3.
OHHH and Lost river gorge exit 52 I think off 93N
