I hope this is OK. I need help picking an entry for the next contest.
I was really excited to see that the topic for the next contest is rivers and streams. I've been shooting landscape photos ever since I retired ten years ago, and I have lots of rivers and streams. However, I quickly went through my files and came up with thirty eight possible entries! Yikes! I'm having a worse time than usual picking two of them.
Would you folks mind helping me decide on one or two? Thanks. Let me know if you think this isn't OK. I still have a lot more and I may make another post. Ross aka Grumpy Old Guy Hot Creek

I chose Yellowstone Falls because this is the first photo I've seen of that falls from that particular angle. Most people shoot it from down the river a ways, but I love this close-up. Very unique and gorgeous!

I also have a pic from that other location. I chose this one for the very reasons that you mentioned. The amazing thing is the water really is that green. I've seen it in other people's photos too.
Thanks for your input.  |
