Interesting and almost abstract Dear Michele . . . super tough with the challenging exposure. I do like the diagonal shoreline in the composition . . . well chosen.
You also sent me out scurrying about to find the definition . . . and there's a zillion of them. The geological one is:
A large permanent stream of water, originating at a source and flowing along a fixed course, usually into a lake or the sea at its mouth.
Mostly, it's subjective as to size and permanence which varies with all rivers over time anyway. Apparently, if you want a river you just call it a river . . . ditto for streams, brooks, creeks, etc.
I'm reminded of (I think) Monty Python who claimed the first person to use the word "Great" in front of Britain was being sarcastic. :P (Apologies to my British friends . . . ) Sometimes it's all about the name . . . D may have been 'Damn' River until it came time to print up maps and someone said "Oh no you don't"! Who knows. Anyway . . . interesting as all get out!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

I don't know what the definiton ofc a river is. Obviously, someone thought this qualifies. It certainly is unique. Love the sparkles.

Good texture, I like a lot the way you use the 'line' between the water and the sand in diagonal way, sharpness and generaly details are pretty good even that could be even more sharp,
....hmmmm....think a shot like that with an object as a main target in a corner, I have in my mind now a red hut for excamble, on the sand or anything else...
Excellent abstract like texture...7/7
Cheers!

Hi Nicki,
Yesterday it was sooooo beautiful I was sitting on the deck of this restaruant that is on the beach but also has this D-River
flowing by it... so I just leaned over the edge and took a few shots from probably 20 feet above the river... with the SUN blasting on it ... I did have a filter which totally helped or I don't think this would've worked !
Sooooooo my dear to answer your question if I was on the beach I guess I was in-between:)) altho when I walk out of the restaurant I am on the beach ...if this helps ((?)))
Best Wishes for a great evening my dear ...
Hugsssss from Green Oregon...Michele~

It's like one step forward, and one back again - Lol!!
I need to read the book (Nikon)) again now that I do understand more than I did the first time I read it :)))
To actually join a photo club that I can see others with 'hands on' would also be a major help for me ...I appreciate your comment very much my dear.

This is so well done, Michele. A hard shot due to reflections and light, but you managed to take it so well. I love this combination of the light dancing on the surface of the water and the stones lying there in a nice pattern in the freash clear water. Very nice tones as well! I can see that you´re improving!
Take care
Annemette
