you have glorious color going on here.....well saturated, well exposed, good depth of field.....

there's cropping issues, though.....you have a thingamabob in the upper left of the frame.....and some shadowing on the lower edge to the right that could be done away with....easy fix.....

thanks for sharing...

I've stood up on that point and shot down at the river, so it's interesting to see the place from the opposite vantage point. Good use of the rule of thirds, and the strata of the rocks is well definied. What time of day was this? A little later might give you warmer light and a better sky. You could try to push the blues a little in post, but overall a nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

A minor point, but some people consider the use of all capitals to be the text equivalent of shouting. :rolleyes:

Wow, this is a great landscape! I will echo the comment about the... thing... in the upper left corner. Minor crop to get that out. Other than that, I think this is pretty solid! I could see this framed in the lobby of a resort in the area.

Thanks for your help. Cropped the picture and it definately improved it.

You have a couple of good photos in there but you need to decide where you focus is....

On the sky...

or on the earth...

Can you see how the rule of thirds applies in these crops?

No objections I prefer the earth crop. Shows the height. Thanks for the suggestions

Great crops, Nathan!

Great crops, Nathan! And very good image, too, of course, to the original poster, but I agree that old rule of thirds does it good!

[BlueSage]

I think you have a great photo, and with just a bit of cropping it would be [I]the[I] photo. I would crop it to take out a bit of the sky, so the skyline isn't running right through the middle of the shot. Very nice work!

i cant see why it gets its name :D

rule of thirds as everyone else has said.. it really does help
it doesnt do much for me i'm sorry.. i think a higher contrast to bring out the crevasses and clefts in the rock would work wonders.

try a very high contrast B&W maybe
