Titian Cliffrise

This is a gorgeous view. I love the simple composition, the curve of the river, and the dramatic sky. One thing I might try would be to do some selective dodging on the lighter parts of the canyon walls to increase contrast and lead the eye through the scene.

Hi Nicolaus,

beautiful image! I really like how the river leeds my eyes in. very natural looking and that sky is indeed, fabulous. great perspective, capture!!!

HI Nicolaus,

I love the S-curve and your subtle, realistic, processing. Also, thanks for sharing the location information about this gorgeous place. My only small nit is the image feels slightly left weighted. IMO the right 20% of the image doesn't contribute much to the overall scene. Overall, I very much like your presentation here and enjoy the scene my comment is more for future refernce and I am sure others would probably disagree too. Great work!

What a peaceful and gorgeous curve in the canyon, and with such wonderful light. Excellent image, and the contrast looks fine the way it is, to me. You might be able to brighten at least portions of it a little to reveal some more detail if you like.

Geat sweeping comp! Only suggestion is maybe a slight boost in the contrast and/or saturation--could use just a little 'pop'.

NIce view Nic, I would of thought it was in the Southwest. The edge gives you better views doesn't it. Your touch looks fine to me.

Beautiful curves in this dramatic canyon and a nice sky to boot.

Nicolaus,

First of all, thank you for your description and thoughts about your processing. It makes sense to me and lets me view this how I know you wanted to present it. I think the soft colors and contrast are fitting - and honestly, very well done. This makes this more understated, but still the soft light and colors still come through beautifully. I've no complaints or suggestions.

I actually love the softer colors and contrast. All the textures come through great. That's one of the nice things about color. Where this my be graying in B&W, in color, the mid-tones are beautiful.

I like the softness and low light of the river and the color developing at the bottom of the clouds.Cool shot.

Hello Nicolaus,

That's simply majestic view! The sky is pretty and the canyon wow breathtaking...

Nicolaus,

Very inspiring, Beauitful image. I agree with stan, little more saturation with pop. Great work.

Nicolaus, I've been here a couple of times but the sky has never worked out well. You nailed it with some nice glowing light on the canyon walls and very nice sky. Just curious, are you from this area? You have a lot of pics on Wyoming I've noticed.

This image could well do with some extra contrast but your more subtle touch works well too.

Thanks for the comments. Figured a few would want the contrast upped a bit. ;]

Dean, you should see my Rattlesnake Apocalypse shot. The sky facing North was WAY better than this. I'll post it sometime for viewing. It was taken on the opposite side of the overlook, and it is actually much more dramatic, even a bit more of contrast and saturation for those that prefer harder images.

And yessir, born and raised in Wyoming. I just recently returned from six years working overseas. It was time to come home and start taking some serious photographs before I have to get a real job again. I noticed there were not too many Wyoming photographers, so figured I might eventually be able to fill a niche someday. We'll see.
