I snapped this back in March. It's of the Truckee River about 20mi west of Reno. I like the shot, but I'm not sure about the contrast in it. Anyone have any tips on improving it? BTW, it's actually a color shot. It was a very gray day and snowing.

    Hi Thomas,

    Nice shot, and I know exactly where that is. Brrrrr..... Here's how it looks in higher contrast:

    cool shot or maybe cold shot

    The higher contrast seems to make it pop

    Thanks for the tip all

    You don't think the change in contrast washes out the background too much? That's the only reason I hesitated in the change, I didnt' want to wash out the upper left section of the picture.

    Personally, I don't feel the upper left is the focus of your attention. It's the stream.

    Point taken, the stream is supposed to be the focus of the pic..
