That's probably the problem. It makes me feel a little claustrophobic. I had gone to that location for a different picture for which the light never materialized so I started playing with my ND filter and the stream. I think that given the effort to get the right amount of blur in the water and the best light on the mountain top and a good composition, I ended up wanting this to be a better picture than it really is.

I particularly like the first two and the B&W of the Dunes set, the elk in the RMP set. The 2nd is nice enough but maybe too much going on.
