Eagle Creek, Columbia Gorge. Yes that's Punchbowl! Does it work as a secondary subject?

Colors appear to be a bit flat for me here on my monitor. Ron

I like it! The sun-lit greens being 'lighter' give it a dreamy look. I don't mind that its not (overly) saturated. A unique low angle and long distance view of a familiear place = a unique shot. Nice work.

This scene really emphasizes the height of the canyon. The sky blend is nice, I have trouble with the trees when I do it sometimes. The near to far feeling works for me and the colors are fine. Maybe the warm tint could use adjustment but that could just be tired eyes at this hour?

Yes it works.

I do think the white balance is a bit off too much toward warm (and making the colors look a tad flat). Also even though it MAY be level it gives the feeling of leaning to the right to me. If it is perfectly level I would straighten it relatively.

Still I really like the unusual approach of this popular scene!

Really nice perspective. Overall I feel it is a little on the warm side but it doesn't bother me greatly.

I really like this interesting view, Daniel. Nice Work getting this angle. It does seem just a tad on the warm side to me also. The large version is very nice to look at.

Oh, this is very nice Daniel! I'm not on a calibrated monitor so I can't comment on the colors being flat, but I love the composition and chosen shutter speed. Excellent work.
