New Hampshire in an interesting state to visit, with large wilderness areas and picturesque towns. The continental ice sheet once covered the entire state, eroding upland areas, gouging mountains, and re-directing waterways into precipitous streams and beautiful lakes. The White Mounains of the Appalachian chain form ranges across the north central part that are broken here and there by passes known locally as notches. Pictured is the Ellis River, which drops from here some 80 ft. (24m) through Pinkham Notch.

The state's motto, displayed prominently on vehicle license plates, is "Live Free or Die."

Hi John.
Landscapes usually have an horizontal view or composition. But also the vertical composition are good for this kind of photo.
Here not only we see a good composition, the light looks really good. You only need see the clouds or the trees at the end of the photo for understand what I mean.

Thanks for share.

Hi john,
Beaucoup de stigmates de l'automne, les feuilles mortes qui flottent sur ces eaux tranquilles et les feuillages qui chavirent dans toutes les couleurs de feu.
Le cadrage est parfaitement adapté à la scène qui bénéficie aussi de lumières très favorables.
Bien à toi,

Hi John: You captured it very well. It looks so natural and lovely. The color is attractive. Good Work. Sothy

Amazing fall colours, and beautifully framed with the stream in the foreground, which seems to lead our eyes right into the trees. I got a big kick from the state licence plates too, because in a world of platitudes and nice marketing slogans they sure cut against the grain! Well done!

Bravo, John, pour cette très belle réalisation.

Hi John
Good composition John.I like the vertical format for this scene as it includes the maximum of details from the running water with the rocks and the leaves in the foreground,the fallen leaves are echoing those still in the trees,where you have surely waited for the sun to illuminate those colors.The spectacle is closed by the towering clouds.
Just a litte bit too much sharpening.
Good work
Have a good WE

Hi John,
I think autumn can't be more beautiful than you show us on this image here. Amazing colours of the trees and a beautiful sky. I like the vertical format.
Nice composition,
Nino

Hi John
Wonderful picture of this season;great low POV and DOF and wonderful light.The sky is marvellous there.Great job.

greetings
~ALBRECHT~

This sizzled just looking at the thumbnail. I opened it up and was not disappointed. The depth and focus are both top drawer and the light, especially in the centre of the frame on the rocks, is wonderful. I can't avoid mentioning the stunning Autumn colours - vivid and beautiful. I think Autumn missed the UK this year. Hot October and now Winter winds means the leaves are going before we see their lovely colours.

Hi John,
Again a great autumn coloured pic.
Very pleasing foreground with the red leafs, and great background.
Very nice.
Have a nice day,

Hello John. I keep seeing photos from all over in your gallery. I am sure glad to see these photo captures you manage to find so well.
A very nice setting for a wide angle photo by including the shoreline rocks and fall leaves in the water. I particularly like the red tree in the upper left which seems to balance the color combinations in this setting. Very nicely done John!

Hello John,
What a nice autumnal scenery!Lovely colors all around!Most of all i like the way you choose the point of view to compose the image.It looks like I am one step before this amazing place.Splendid work as usual!

Friendly Regards,

Hi John
A very strong composition with a very wide variety of hues. It's only now, that the colours are beginning to change in England due to the warm October we've had. I'll be off to Bath tomorrow to see if I can accomplish and English version of New Hampshire. Nice to see the rich reds in particular. The vertical format has served you well and helps to deliver good depth across the scene. The foreground of leaves is a good, detailed feature which delivers extra impact. Nicely balanced composition with a good control of light.
Cheers

That's great.. the fallen leaves in the water and the colurs in the background make it really attractive and beautiful.

Hi John,
The photo has exceptional DOF; it feels like I'm standing of the bank looking at lovely atuumn tableau across the river. From the leaves floating in the river to the clouds, the detail is excellent. The colors are perfectly saturated with the touch of blue at the top providing a great accent to the autumnal reds and golds.

What a pleasing take on this autumn scene, John! The composition is great and very dynamic using the fallen leafs and the rocks to lead us across the river. And of course the autumn colors ae magic here. Beautiful work - I must visit NH one time in this season. Beautiful work and thanx for sharing this!
