Hi Justin, this is very nice composition, and a wonderful scene, but I wander why such a warm color balance ? Personally, I would prefer a much cooler white balance here.

This is a really nice scene with a lot of great detail in the large version. It does seem to be on the warm side and heavy on yellows, but still a nice image.

Thanks to both of you. Looking on it again it does seem a little warm. I was shooting this with a wb of cloudy +2, because of the conditions at the time I started shooting. This was the third exposure, and the sun had parted the clouds and given this area a very warm luminance. I applied some cooling in pp, but may go back and change my wb setting to cool it a little more..

This is quiet a pretty scene. It looks a bit too warm for me. I'd prefer a cooler white balance. As already mentioned it's a bit on the yellow side.

Justice,
I like the scene and setup; the point of view and comp work pretty well. I can see the color cast and comments, but I'm wondering too what the actual color viewing this in person was like. the blue shoes up well in the water to the right and the colors look pretty good in the cliff. I think it's the rocky beach and fuzzy water at the bottom drawing the attention to the color. Honestly, I'm not sure what to suggest to change the look, although I must say that the repost does look better.
Not sure it's up there with your best posts so far though.
