The Gorge
From my trip last week to the Collegiate peaks area.

Very cool shot, Klaus, it really draws the viewer in.

Certainly has lots of leading lines. Nice.

I really love how you draw the viewer in all the way to the back of the image, the silky water really makes this image. :toast:

+1 on the leading lines. It's felt like making the jump to light speed in Star Wars when I first looked at it. Definitely a good feeling of depth in this image.

With it being basically black brown, tans and white, did you try a B&W convert to see if you liked it better?

Ditto on the comp. Well done. I like Steve's idea of a b&w conversion, too.

Nice comp and great details in the rocks. Would also like to see in BW.

Nice comp, looks like a good place to come back to once the wildflowers start their thing.

Looks like the Arkansas will soon be feeling the melt! My kayak has been whimpering a lot about being neglected these past 8 months.

Very nice, I like the leading lines. It really does draw the viewer in.
