The mill is gone. It burned down in 1902, Still, the waters of the river above Costley Mill are directed by the stones placed in the Yellow river's path over 150 years ago. In the days when the Cherokee lived off of these lands, a lowly miller and his family were welcomed to build a home and a mill to bring food to the wilderness. The mill pond became a center of gathering for the wandering pilgrims who passed through and for those who settled nearby.

WOW this this really needs sharpening. um no. it's the way I want it. Contrast? nope. same answer. If you hate it, give it an 8 or a 7. It's not up to your standards? Go lower, PLEASE>

Beautiful but a little too soft for me.

Was the hazy soft glow intentional? It definitely causes a loss in detail. I am actually squinting to try and see it better to no avail!

Editing One must know how to give that touch of fantasy without ruining the picture, here it you've accomplished. Silk Effect of water really good.

I am one who would prefer some sharpening, but not totally. I like your idea of creating a dream-like feeling, but it is just a bit too much for me.
