I am going for a painterly look on this one

Good Composition and Processing. However the first thing that caught my EYE or I should say leans my head to the Left was that the image appears to be crooked. Road in background also gives it that appearance even more. Thanks for posting.

@digicam Ed you may be correct but on every set up the first thing I do is go to settings and bring up the level to be sure everything is straight. The only explanation I have for the road is this is a mountain road so it’s possible that the road is going downhill.

@flipd1 , I hear you Phil. As I stated It APPEARS and gives the Appearance of. Did not say actually was. Take the image and straighten it out and see if it does not have a more natural look and more appealing to the eyes.

@digicam Hey Ed. I just tried that and it looks slightly better. But it created another issue which is the trees on the left looks to lean too much. I like the advice you gave. I am always open to try thing so thanks for the suggestion

@flipd1 , very slightly, but it does look a lot more natural and appealing to the Eye.

@digicam Check out the revised version. I posted a newer one for comparison. I see your point and it does look better..... but now I can't unsee the tree leaning LOL. Also Lord knows I don't wanna lean left... Not even with my pictures.

@flipd1 , Is the image about the Stream or the Tree?. Do all Trees grow Straight. I think NOT. Have you never seen a crooked tree? I straightened the image myself and there is very little difference except less tree which in my opinion gives the stream even more eye appeal. But that's just me.
