Hi Jim:

Those are nice, restful shots, and certainly a welcome break from the 
usual wideangle pictures.  I like the composition of the Stream 
picture, because it seems to undulate.

One suggestion would be to switch over to TMY instead of Tri-X; Tri-X 
has a pronounced shouldering effect when it hits the top of the 
exposure curve, which I think I am seeing in 'Stream.'  TMY will render 
those tones in linear fashion, and then you can decide to print/scan up 
or down the scale.

That said, forest shots are invariably tough because they have such a 
huge contrast range.  Good work!

Cheers
