River's Edge

[PixSixSix]

Here's a shot I got in Banff a few weeks ago using my 99cent filter and vaseline.

I bumped up the brightness a bit in photoshop (and got rid of some dust spots) but that's basically it for post processing.



Exif
Exposure 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture f/11.0
Focal Length 35 mm
ISO Speed 200
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash No Flash

I've been trolling the critique portion of this board for a bit and you all give some really fantastic advice

Do the textures work or do you find them distracting?
Should the composition stay as is or would you crop it closer on the left side?
Can you tell where my dust spots were?
Does the photo evoke any emotion or tell a story or have I missed the boat on that one...
Anything else I've forgotten to ask...



EDIT: You know, I'm counting on you guys to knock me down a peg or two
