    I think you have the exposure on the landscape perfect but there is too much movement and whites are blown in the water for my liking

    RAS,
    I like this a lot, and yes I see the river Lady on the left bank and her watcher in the rock.
    I understand where John is coming from, I find myself at fast flowing streams like this a lot and its always difficult to capture the light spot on, but I think you have done a good job here.
    Its a pity that branch got stuck where it did as I would prefer the wider image.

    Thanks all, I have been struggling with the screen calibration on my laptop having had feedback on badly exposed images that appeared perfect to me. (thanks Isabella!)

    Reduced the brightness of my display and I think that has helped!.

    Also noted in researching laptop screen calibration techniques that its virtually an impossible task , some would argue not but it is IMO and that because regardless of your brightness settings the actual brightness changes based on the angle you are viewing the screen at!. I guess the clever thing to do is by a monitor. Anyone know of a good monitor for photo processing ….that is reasonably priced???…….or is that an oxymoron? :-)

    I recently calibrated my laptop screen using a colour monkey, massively improved the image I was seeing! I also mostly process my photos at night to reduce glare etc. altering brightness and contrast etc.
    very nice shots, where were these photos taken?

    2 nice shots ras …you’ve got the forest exposure spot on (which is very difficult, i know , ive tried)!!..the silky water is lovely too, unfortunately its blown out in a lot of places … but without doing 3 or 4 separate exposures and blending them there isnt much of a way around that problem…..and like i say i know ive tried ! i like the foreground rock in the 2nd , it provides loads of detail but i have to say overall i much prefer the 1st
