The River Tees is 84 miles long The pictures were taken about two miles from the river mouth - where it joins the North Sea. I was on a bridge at the Tees Barrage - hence the foam. No. 1 . . Looking East. No. 2 . . . . Looking West. whippet, I really like the angle of your shots (taken from a bridge). My favorite is the first one with the S-curves formed by the river banks. |

Living on the river, it seems there's always a picture that could be taken... Helen, it looks like a storm was brewing. My favorite is the second image -- with the golden hues in the sky being reflected in the water. |

Two images of the north arm of the Fraser river. A working river, as you can see, with a tugboat returning home, and what looks like a barge full of wood chips, in the pano, which is looking out towards Georgia Strait, also known as the Salish Sea. Angela, nicely done! These are two colorful and sharp images. The second image puts it all in perspective. |

My local river is the St Clair River. Only 40 miles long connecting Lake Huron with Lake St Clair but a very busy waterway with the Canada/US border running down the middle. Here's a good fishing spot at the mouth of the river with the twin Bluewater bridges behind - the sheets covering part of the US side are where they are currently re-painting - one of those jobs that when finished the whole bridge it's time to start again! And further down the river the Hon. James L. Oberstar was passing by carrying 30,000 tons of iron ore to Detroit Tony Tony, two colorful, sharp, detailed images. I really like the composition in the first one -- with the twin bridges going across the frame and the inclusion of a human element on the river bank. |

The very modest little Coppermill Stream barely merits being called a river, but it helps fill the huge reservoirs which now make up the Walthamstow Wetlands, one of London's newest nature reserves. Brenda Brenda, great job! I really like the composition -- with the leading lines of the stream going across the frame. Perfect for a triptych effect! |

Another very local river - Bear Creek. Not too many bears around here these days but there likely were when it got its name. Confession - that isn't the original sky. I was playing with some different camera settings and managed to blow out the sky - which was basically just a big white cloud anyway - so dropped in a "darker color" blend mode layer in ON1 with one of their handy sky textures at 30% - just enough to make the sky a little more interesting without having to do any masking.

This is an interesting challenge for me - my submission certainly won't look like a river.
Proof that this is an actual river.
