Cape Horn Clouds
This was the scene as I had finished up a 'round the Gorge driving hiking tour....coming back on the Wash side the light was perfectly being filtered through the multiple layers of perfect white clouds....

Thoughts, comments, suggestions all welcome!

Thanks

Nice one Darren. The clouds are really cool.

Darren, this is very very nice. The cloud cover is fantastic, the light on the left is just great.

Isn't the Gorge grand! The clouds are great but I also like the sunlight on the meadow LLHC.

Gorgeous comp, Darren. Wow, you lucky dog– the light was really with you on this one.

Looks real nice Darren. The sky makes the photo for me.

Yep, very sweet shot Darren. The clouds are awesome. The green in the lower left looks a tad intense for me. That is minor though, the clouds steal the show. :smile:

The greens, blues and whites here are just stunning, Darren. And it's so crystal clear!

I will be in the Portland area June 10-21. Cape Horn is one of our planned hikes/photo sites. Hope I can get something half as nice as this. Did you use polarizer?

Seems like a place to use my new Sigma 10-20

Fantastic clouds, great colors and of course the river makes for a great lead-in to the scene. Very nice. I might be tempted to tone down the greens a scoche, but that's a matter of personal taste.

I absolutly love the cloud layers. Gives the shot amazing depth. Well done.

Great shot, Darren! I'd echo Rick, and maybe pull back the yellow a bit on the left.
