Hi Stephen. Not to fill you with dismay, but I actually prefer the stream on the left where it was originally. This photo seems more symmetrical, but I feel the balance of the original was more intriguing and challenged me more. That said, this is still a very nice image. The S curve works so nicely to take my eye right to the center peak (before it took to the peak, and then my eye wandered around to the right--here, it just goes to the peak). Swell work, both shots.

This photo for me is the road of life, simbolicaly means the first step and the mountain, the early infancy and the status and experience when you make contribution to others and the world. For me this is like a picture with many details and significant messages! Your personal artwork have a great comunication to others and the nature you take is a positive message to others. The problem is if others understand! Thanks for your great contribution to a best and nature peaceful world!

Great place ! Good photo.
We could think we will see Kevin Costner arriving like in "Dances with wolves" ;-)

Nice trick here moving the stream. I am sure there are alot of ways of seeing a scene. Some suggestions perhaps..
1. Shoot this kind of scene either earlier in the morning for more dramitic light and shadows. This will also bring better colors too.
2. I know you wanted to play with the brook to add detail in the foreground. What I see though is a lovely mountain, some trees right in front of me, and another group of trees in the far right. In this scene I would have moved to the right and get a clear view of the mountain with trees on both sides. Always look for a lead in ( like this stream ) and an opening to direct the viewers eyes. This rule has done wonders for you in other posting you have. The other thing to do ifyou have a nice wide angle is to get down low and place grass/ plants / in the foreground to add interest. These are a few of my rumblings as I look as this scene.
