That tree got it's butt kicked!

Pretty scene Michael. Middle rock looks little weird with the blues...but it's not a deal breaker. Nice work.

Nice stream shot Michael. Great detail and color, beautifully exposed. The glare on the middle rock is an eye catcher but as Nicolaus said, "not a deal breaker." It's hard to find scenes of this type that are clean and uncluttered. Well done.

Nice scene with great detail. The rock in the llc could be a macro study by itself, lots of interesting details.

Very pretty scene michael - nicely captured. It's nice to see some "real" nature with the downed tree, etc. Just proved that reality can still be photogenic. Nice job.

I'm not sure why you're not getting more feedback. I really like this.
I like the rock formations, the colors and lighting, plus the diagonal
line of the fallen tree.

I really like the interplay of the green, blue, orange colors. The downed tree is what it is, though it does seem to break up the flow of the image just a bit.
