teked Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Living in central North Carolina, I am just a few hours from either the beach or mountains. When one is not sure which one to choose for a weekend getaway, there is always Beech Mountain. A few weeks ago, we borrowed a friend's cabin for the weekend at Beech Mountain. Just down a ways from the cabin is a trail along Bear Creek. Here is a shot I took there. Hope you enjoy. Original: Revised: (modified upper left corner) Cheers, Ed Edited on Jul 02, 2009 at 11:33 AM · View previous versions Jul 01, 2009 at 03:33 PM

parsons Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Beach or Beech? + Revision lovely soft tones, and love the water, shame about those leaves top left. simon Jul 01, 2009 at 04:07 PM

mike717 Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Very nice, Ed. It doesn't look like you could have gotten much lower without a snorkel. Jul 01, 2009 at 04:44 PM

hugh Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Hello Ed, looks like a fine place to spend a weekend. Thanks for sharing the falls. hugh PS - not sure why or if it indicates a problem, but this image took a very long time to load - almost two minutes Jul 01, 2009 at 04:57 PM

Just tried it on my laptop, and it took only a few seconds. Cheers, Ed Jul 01, 2009 at 05:16 PM

pinball_pw Online Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Just looked on mine and it loaded pretty quick. Lovely picture, would be better without the leaves. Perfect exposure, etc. I really like the rock in the foreground. Jul 01, 2009 at 05:54 PM

rocketscience Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Very nice. Love the composition, the saturation and the slow shutter. Jul 01, 2009 at 06:02 PM

Binh Ly Online Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Beach or Beech? + Revision very nice ed, the upper left corner movement bothers me a bit, but otherwise everything else looks very good! Jul 01, 2009 at 08:09 PM

floris Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Lovely little stream! The leaves in the ULC are a bit distracting, but I love the feeling I get from looking at this! Jul 01, 2009 at 08:25 PM

Donald Gray Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · Beach or Beech? + Revision One of the most pleasing and relaxing photographs I have seen for a very long time. We are suffering a heat wave here and that water and location looks cool in more ways than one. Thanks. Jul 01, 2009 at 09:35 PM

treebeard Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Lovely shot. I agree about the leaves in he upper left corner, but sometimes it's just unavoidable! Jul 01, 2009 at 09:51 PM

alichty Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Nice satin like waters - very nice feel to the shot. Yes the leaves are distracting but that's life around moving water. Short of taking a second faster shot and blending that's hard to avoid. Nice mood to this setting - thanks for sharing it.

Pixel Perfect Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Beautiful serene shot Ed, but you should have been lying in the water to avoid those leaves Jul 02, 2009 at 09:33 AM

ScaryFox Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Very nice. You might be able to clone the leaves out? Ute Jul 02, 2009 at 10:01 AM

teked Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Beach or Beech? + Revision I have just posted a revision to this shot, that removes the leaves in the upper left corner. Hope this works better. Cheers, Ed Jul 02, 2009 at 12:10 PM

Roger Whitehead Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · Beach or Beech? + Revision I like the modified shot. Nice work in both the capture and the post processing!! RWW Jul 02, 2009 at 03:31 PM

JimFox Offline Dedicated FM Moderator Upload & Sell: On p.1 #19 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Hey Ed, What a cool little waterfall! I really like the look of this one. Losing the blurry leaves in the upper left corner really really helps the shot. And good job on removing them from the image! Jim Jul 02, 2009 at 06:24 PM

Ray Still Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #20 · Beach or Beech? + Revision Ed very nice capture here love the soft quiet feeling I get from this image, really like the angle at which you composed here, very nice work Ray Still Jul 03, 2009 at 01:51 AM

Ed nice pics, very lush, nice satiny water from the low shutter, good lighting. But.... I have a beef hah with that whole thing central North Carolinians try to pull on outsiders.... about how it is the perfect location centered equally close to the mountains and the shore.... yeah i fell for that.... when it is really equally far! I mean Boston, MA to the NJ shore is less distance! And the Smokies are like NYC.... to Montreal! anyway Beech Mtn looks like a very beautiful place. Jul 03, 2009 at 03:23 AM

bshamilton Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #22 · Beach or Beech? + Revision I'm going against the crowd here, I know, but I like the original! The leaves in question don't protrude into the water space, and don't bother me a whit. Lovely stream and little falls, Ed. The transparency in the fg water is wonderful!

Hope you like the modified version better. mike717 wrote: Very nice, Ed. It doesn't look like you could have gotten much lower without a snorkel. Hi, Mike. Your comment about the snorkel made me laugh. I was very low. Had the tripod legs stretched to the limits. Thenks for the remarks. pinball_pw wrote: Just looked on mine and it loaded pretty quick.

Have modified to remove the leaves. rocketscience wrote: Very nice. Love the composition, the saturation and the slow shutter. Thank you for the remarks. Glad you enjoyed it, rocketscience.
