Your choice of subject was great for this challenge. I think you have done well framing it, and composing so that there are three distinct "layers" is also effective. If it had been possible, (I understand there may have been a safety risk here!) changing your angle so that there was something at the bottom of the frame that would lead the viewer's eyes into the frame would have added to the initial impact, I think. For example, if the "stuff' in the bottom of the frame led to a point on the picture that was the main focal point. I think that is what someone was referring to when s/he said we needed something to focus on, besides the water. Though the water is obviously the primary subject, it is "there" and almost makes the picture static.
You have used the natural light available very well, adn I really like the deep rich color tones you have captured. The dark area on the left may indicate it is slightly underexposed, but I like it because it gives a forbidding ominous feeling to the picture. The focus is slightly off at the bottom of the frame, but it isn't readily apparent, because the eyes are quickly scanning the rest of the picture. Backing up some and giving yourself room to crop might fix this (provided you could back up!).
Overall, I truly liked your picture, both during the initial voting and now. I felt it met the challenge well, adn depicted the power of nature, adn teh potential devastation that flooding can have. Excellent work. |

| Yup. But we need something to focus attention on... besides the water that is. Perhaps something struggling in the water... log even. |

| You did a very nice job leveling the water line. A nice shot. The lighting and angle and framing/cropping are all good. Focus and clarity are good as well. Definately news worthy. Good job. ~Heather~ |

| Well framed and taken. The sky isn't washed out on this one, looks more like the ground is (har, har, har). The only thing this needs is some sort of focal point. Even without it, it's something that one might see in the newspaper or magazine. Good shot. - Inspzil |

| Good shot. When I was a child we would get floods on the North Canadian river in Oklahoma. 6 JEM |

| Good shot with great depth of field (I'm a DOF fan, but don't know how well it works in this challenge). This is a little close to give the viewer the idea of a flood...for all we know it could be a boat ramp or something. Hmmm...I guess the trees are submerged. I'm wondering if there was something else that you could have put more in the foreground that would give it more of a flood impact. Still, overall a very nice effort. muckpond |

| It might be an illussion, but the horizon seems a tad tilted to the right... The violence of the water is expressed well... Nice capture! ~ MyQyl ~ |

Very interesting shot. The stuff hanging on the tree limb sticking out over the creek makes it look as if the water has been higher and is receding.
The creek above the tree in the water looks as if a dam has broken and a rush of water is coming.
The edy between the tree and the rock in the bottom corner, along with the white caps just in front make it appear that you are in a great curve just before you break into the calm of the river.
I would have cropped off at the rock and enlarged it I had to for minimum size. This photo says a lot to a persons who's been in a flood or river rafting. A photo that talks is a great photo. Good clear photo all the way. I like the little bit of darkness to the shot - it adds to the emotion. Great idea. Great composition with execellent execution. PTL9

| Nice photo, although I believe that it would have been more effective if you would have taken the photo in a more horizontal fashion, capturing not only the rising water, but more of the trees.....Just a thought :O) |

| It could very well be a troublesome rising of water, but the picture does not express that well enough. |

| need a slower shutter speed to blur the water slighty |
