Looking upstream from the bridge on the Trail of Cedars.

One of my favortie places on the planet, that I have seen so far. :smile:

I really like the comp, and the colors are natural and beautiful, as they should be. My only nit would be it looks slightly oversharpened or possibly too much contrast? I'm sure your print ready version is probably fine. You can keep on sharing your captures from Glacier. I can't get enough of that place.

:biggrin:

I agree with Morris that it looks a bit contrasty--but a nice comp and fascinating scene! :smile:

Really nice comp, so many elements to the image, ones eye can just wander around and discover new things so it holds your interest.

I also like the composition and that water color. What a neat chasm! Did you stroll inside of it any?

John, there really isn't much to follow there. What you see is about 60 or 70 feet before it narrows to tightly bunched rocks and a waterfall. Behind and above the falls, the gorge walls are extremely vertical and deep.

Morris, like you I can't get enough of Glacier. I'm already thinking about a return trip. It and Olympic NP are my favorites.
