Thank you Stan..... I totally missed your comment. I will look...... because I know that I have a few more photos taken at different times over the years, but this one I'm sure was the best one except for the exposure a tad underexposed.
Hope all is well with you.

I think this sort of thing reminds us the lad has always gone through changes, and we are lucky to have recorded them. On the bright side of this............... nobody can ever do the same photo better than you can. ;)
On the cliffs near where I live, I have another that is gone forever. This time it's just the elements on the coast and natural erosion.

If the link doesn't work, the image I am referring to is on page 3 of my portfolio. It's near the top and called The Three Treemigos. That is an old photo, but in the comment part I just added a recent photo showing the trees all gone and from about the same view. The lighthouse light is no longer used either, and that's kind of sad too. Glad I got those when I did.
There is a different angle of those three trees at the bottom of the same page.

WOW...You have my sympathy. I also have hundreds of slides, maybe even thousands, many of which have not yet been scanned. Of course now I shoot digital and am totally spoiled by it, but still love many of those old slides.
I the mid-80's when I was just learning photography, my late husband and I traveled through the Canadian Rockies and one photo was of such a beautiful scene, but over exposed. When we went back a couple of years later it was totally changed. I've tried multiple ways to 'fix' that photo, but nothing satisfies me, so I kinda know what you're going through.:)

Oh I wish......
This back road area was hit by a lot of road slides during a very wet winter.. I feel fortunate to have taken this image when I did. A couple of years later, it was turned into ugly rubble so bad that I couldn't determine within 50 feet of where the original stream was.
I guess this is a historical print now............ I have other images that can never be redone because of good old mother nature.
Not sure if I want to thank her or not. ;)
I have more images of this site....... somewhere...
.... but they will be for another day. Time of year is important for foliage and this particular place is in a deep valley rarely seeing direct sunlight. Usually the sky is the light source.
I probably have close to 500 yellow boxes of slides so it would take a while to look through them all. I loved my Kodachrome even with the narrow limits of it's contrast levels.

Probably your best option will be if you have the opportunity to photograph this lovely scene again.

Thanks Shirley. All my images here are from Kodachrome 64 or 25, so contrast is a big issue with a shot like this one taken under some difficult lighting conditions.
I always exposed for the highlights and usually went just a tad underexposed to keep the colors saturated. I wished I had bracketed this shot and taken more images.
There is almost no detail in the darkest areas, so changing the contrast just doesn't seem to help much. I did try to use the burn/dodge tools from GIMP and that does have some effect. The alder tree is too blue to my eyes, but reducing the blue further hurts the greens. I might dabble with it a little more.
Thanks again for checking in and commenting.

Nicely composed and very nice water movement captured. I like the portrait aspect for this one. Glad you caught it in it's glory.
Be well, stan

Beautiful scene, too bad that such a scenery is gone. Thanks to your picture it is now preserved for us to cherish. Very nice picture indeed.
Best regard.

Not a whole lot I could do about the deep contrast, but I tried a little and some slight color correction.
