Hi Gunter. The center of the image is showing 2 sailboats and rapids in the distance.
Skill needed to navigate such a voyage. You did very well to have good lighting and DOF within the canyon and front to back. Nicely down. Posted: 07/08/2024 19:26:47

Hi Gunter. nice strong diagonal leading into the picture and some nice little details like the sail boats and the bird top left. It is very natural, I wonder if you could pull just a little bit more out of the sky. Posted: 07/10/2024 22:01:24
Thanks Tim - as to the clouds, I tend to leave them somewhat unsaturated, if they are not important to the overall picture. Personal choice. Posted: 07/10/2024 22:23:24
Nice photo. I can't quite imagine being in a sailboat on that river. Posted: 07/15/2024 18:02:37
I have never seen a sailboat on this river - so I just imagined it.
I added them and the bird. Posted: 07/15/2024 18:09:08

It's a wonderful picture of that fierce river. The (imaginary) sailboats had everybody concerned, I think! Posted: 07/16/2024 02:03:54
I am glad you said you added the bird and sailboats. They do add a lot of interest to the image. Nice scene. I darkened the sky a bit. Posted: 07/16/2024 15:47:24

I like the image and the imagined boats. I toned down the greens in the leaves a little and darkened/saturated the sky. I couldn't get the sky the color I had in mind, but this gives you the idea. Posted: 07/16/2024 16:31:32
Thanks, Elaine
I like what you've done to the greens, so I'm going to redo.
Don't care for your sky. I'm a bit different from most, as I don't care for accentuating the sky, when it is not the story I want to tell. Posted: 07/20/2024 15:42:41
