Lovely scene, indeed. The serenity is enhanced so much by having only a small shaft of sunlight piercing the dark background trees.

Julian, your image has great impact on me. I especially appreciate the delicate lighting conditions, which allow me to enjoy the reflection as the main area of interest for me. Natural colors, rich tonal range and perfect processing to my eye.

I love the peaceful nature of this scene, Julian. The soft lighting is beautifully handled and those reflections make the image for me.

Lovely play of light, Julian. It takes a good eye to see something like this.

Another lovely scene from the Gorge. I particularly like the reflecting light on the water. Very peaceful.

Julian,

A very quiet and calming scene. The backlighting is lovely and it looks like the print film was a great choice in being able to hold the shadows and contrast. Minor suggestion would be to take the magenta slider in a saturation layer and pull that way down just to knock off the slight magenta in a few areas - mostly the shoreline and also small branches in the bare tree. Otherwise, no nits. this is quite nice, I like this very much.
