CNWman...
I don't see what you're seeing...if anything, it looks (to me) that they are going "down-hill" as does the flow of the river. But then again, I'm so familiar with it that I could be seeing what I know to be true and not what it really looks like to everyone else.
In any case, the camera angle is the problem. Here is an overhead shot with the camera pointed in the same direction as the previous pic:

I think it is a little easier to see flow direction toward the camera. Also, the river is painted on the plywood bench top and there is no slope...so that too was an optical illusion.
However, I am glad that you pointed this out to me and in the future I will try to see my pics through objective eyes:thumb:
I hope that clears up any confusion that my pic might have caused anyone:thumb:
Take care:thumb:

CWNman....I just saw your edit...anyway..the point was well made because if you have to look twice then there is a problem:thumb: Regardless, I welcome any and all constructive criticism (how else will I learn?:thumb: )
I also appreciate you very kind words about the quality of the waves :thumb:
