Beautiful shot, Ann. Tbe rainy atmosphere adds a kind of mysterious mood. Lovely colours. I can see why you would want to capture this scene. I think the picture flows out to each side from the cneter tree, so works well.

hahaha...like your about and i think women will not care about onlookers to get THE shot!
I have been in many awkward positions in public just trying to get the perspective i want...mostly people are shocked to see i use a film camera! ;>
Love the misty moody atmosphere here and the Autumnal colors...the evergreen smack in the middle does bug me a tad,but it also looks like it is just in charge of the tree meeting...hehehe
regards,gayle....i can't wait to have a completely free day to just roam and shoot...

A flaming foreground and a mysterious background (who knows what happens in that mist!!!), plus the tall pine tree in the center acting as the accent, calling for attention - and it sure is a very beautiful speciman!Wonderful composition with a beautiful DOF.I love taking photos in the rain and if there is also some fog, I welcome it as a bonus! So, you were very inspired to take this shot!

Hi Ann...Stunning shot. It is nice to see what our UF friends pick up from our shots and in this instance Naomi and Kathy have spotted things that I would have missed as well.
My own firm belief is, there are no rules; Your proposed shot was seen and captured I think it looks beautiful, so well done you....best wishes. Ray

Thank you all for taking the time to view and comment on my images. I appreciate all you have to say.
Ina, I recently returned from a road trip up the Alcan to Alaska and I know what you mean about road construction everywhere. That's one heck of a road with all those frost heaves. :O No I didn't get any photos of the construction workers on this day (or in Alaska). These guys were already looking at me kind of funny cause they thought I was weird for getting soaked just to take a photo. :) I had makeup running down my face from the rain and I looked like Frankenstein's bride but I kept shooting. LOL :)

Hi Ann, I think it was well worth getting wet for this one and for the falls! I love the fog -always - and the fall foliage. Majestic valley! Superb colors. Did you get any pictures of the construction workers? I'm really interested in this subject, I may be too shy to do it, though. The hard hats and yellow/ orange suits are very attractive, I find. I kick myself for not doing any in Alaska, they were on every road, and many women, some quite beautiful. Great to see your gorgeous landscapes! Ina

Hi Ann, before you get the Hoya R72 filter check and see if it will work with the Canon Camera. I am not sure. I have friends with the Canon but they don't have a filter.. They are rather expensive. I found mine at Robin Kanta. PHOTOFILTER.COM I think is t he site.
This picture has a very nice mood. The big pine right in the middle seems to divide the picture. Maybe a little to the right or left could have made the composition a little better. jUST MY IDEA. DON.

Hi Ann!
I Love the Texture of the shot a lot. I don't find the Center place ment of the tall Pine distracting at all. I feel that with it there you give the person viewing the photo a good perspective of the size the the hills and the valley. I would have popped the color a bit more, maybe a slight color burn on the midtones at about 6% opacity.
But that is all personal prefernce.
Remember that a shot loses a lot of color on the up-load. I am sure the original is absolutely wonderful!
Well done and Presented. A 7+++++
Congrats and Best Regards
Sam III

Ann this is lovely. I like the way the sharpness diminishes toward the back of the photo as the fog builds. Very nice perspective....I love it!

Thank you Naomi for your suggestion. Good catch. I didn't even see the tall tree at the time. Not a planned shot. Just a wet one. :)
Thank you Hooshang for your comment.
Cheers all - Ann :)

Kathy I don't mind atg all when people enhance my images. It's always interesting to see how others see them. Thank you. I don't get a lot of time to do much PS work apart from a bump in contrast and crop and resize so I appreciate all tips and advice. I'm never offended by the suggestions or critiques of others. :)
Cheers - Ann :)

I'm glad that you persevered, Ann! This is a nice shot! I love the fog.
I don't know if you are a purist or not, but I was wondering what this would look like if the trees in the foreground were brightened up a bit. I took this into PS and quickly ran the burn tool over the front. Hope you don't mind :)
Keep those shots coming!
Kathy

Beautiful fall shot of the gorge. I might crop it so the tall tree is a little more off center. -- Naomi
