A great subject for B&W with the river rails and the water flowing over the uneven ground. I don't think cropping the top works Marta I know it's a bit over exposed in the sunlight but you need to see what is going on out there

Thanks Peter. I did think about cropping out the over-exposed area at the top but I agree with you there.
