Winter River Scene Photo

Photographer’s Note

Was out getting some photos on my day off and the sun was finely out here. This was taken from the bridge looking East, It was cold day the temp was about 5 degrees. There were a few people out taking photographs this day. I decide to take a winter scene of the North channel.

From SpokesmanReview:

The Spokane River begins at the outlet of Coeur d'Alene Lake in Idaho and ends 111 miles later at its confluence with the Columbia River in Washington. The river has never been under as much pressure to be all things to all people. A source of energy. A place of recreation. A carrier of wastewater. A scenic view out the window. Because of these pressures, however, we have more information than ever before on the river and dozens of people who possess deep knowledge and understanding of the Spokane River.

Hi Jason,
Good composition, I like the way you have used the river to fill most of the frame.
A very pretty winter shot, the snow looks so white contrasting against the dark colour of the water.
I hope you have a really good Christmas, full of fun and laughter and that Santa brings you lots of goodies.
Very best wishes
Peter

Hi Jason,
Wonderful shot of the raging river flowing through this very lovely winter wonderland.
The little islands of ice and snow draw the eye to this lovely urban image.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Striking shot, Jason. Love the way you framed the raging waters. There's great depth of field, superb light management, and a most compelling sense of motion in this one. GREAT job, TFS! Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family, buddy! And thanks for visiting my latest Monument Valley post, I greatly appreciate. Have fun, see ya soon.
Fulvio.

Hi Jason
You chose a very good point of view to introduce us that river. The river seems raging and it produces some mist. It looks so cold. The white snow makes a nice framing. Good work!
Best wishes
Denis!
