1. All are great.

Grizzly Falls is more Falls than river.

I had a choice like that as well and opted for more river.

3. Yeah, I thought about that.

That's why it didn't make the first cut. I have a shot of Multnomah Falls too, but it's way overprocessed.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. Those are all gorgeous.

How about another contest with just those.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

8. Thanks!

9. You sure do get around to some wondrous places, Guy

[Grumpy Old Guy]

10. Thanks!

We've driven a lot of miles, but it's been worth it.

11. Fantasy river is so aptly named

I just have to ask. Did you see the mirroring before you created the image or look at it later and go "Aha". Either way, it is superb.

12. I can't remember, but I don't think so.

I think I noticed them in post.

I call this one "Fantasy River" because I overcooked the processing so badly. It's so bad, that it's actually good! LOL! I was big into HDR at the time, and went a little nuts on this one. It's actually the Milwaukee River on a rainy day in Whitefish Bay, a suburb of Milwaukee. I spent a lot of time at this spot fifty years ago.

13. Small world. I grew up on the shore of Lake Michigan in southern Milwaukee County.

Wish the Milwaukee River and it's sediment was not so polluted. Salt runoff from December to March is horrible for the wildlife, too. I just love that photo!!

14. Thanks!

This was in Estabrook Park on the border of Whitefish Bay & Milwaukee. That was my favorite place to spend my lunch hours. I grew up on the West Side but worked in Glendale.

15. That second one if very VanGoghesque

[Grumpy Old Guy]

16. It certainly is...

...which is why I'm not going to enter it in the contest.

17. Nooooooo. Enter it
