El Capitan Sunset
by Floyd Hopper
Using a gradual ND filter I tried to balance the light. Using a filter in ColorEfex Pro, I added a small amount of warmth and brillance to the image. I did not enhance the hue/saturation. Any c/c's are welcomed. Thanks.

I agree with Stan's comments. First there is too much cyan globally. Second, I agree that the 'Nose' of El Cap could use more room to its right. You might also look at increasing the saturation just a wee bit in the reflection of the wall in the water.

still a lovely composition of one of Yosemite's icons.
I'm gonna differ a little bit on the color opinions here. Yes, there is a bit of cyan in the snow and perhaps globally, but for me it's the color on the rock that I think is a little off. This looks too red/magenta than I usually expect to see, or have seen. A quick fix would be to add some green in a color balance layer, reduce the blue(adding yellow) - basically trying to make the light on El Cap more orange than purple. Minor stuff, but I think with some color tweaks you'll have a very nice capture from Valley View.
