I like your composition here and you handled the contrasty light really well.

Very nice scene you captured Rick. Like the motion in the water and you handled the bright light very well. Nicely done.

Nicely composed and I am liking the dappled light on the water and great cloud configuration. Very cool rock formation, too.

A pretty scene Rick, even a little moody. The cloudy sky is a big plus for me, but I think it could be brightened up just a little.

Rick,

Nice composition. I can see what others mean about a bit brighter, but not too much or you will blow out the great details in the whites.

I really like the composition here Rick and the shutter speed works very well for the water. I think the image could use a slight bump in the midtone contrast to make the light feel a little more dynamic. Overall the image feels just a bit flat to me.

I just commented on several photos not realizing my laptop brightness was five levels low from calibration(outta 16) opps.
So I won't say your image is low on contrast and brightness!
Nice composition, needs just a bit of sharpening for web.

Just great on the repost. Much better light in the foreground, now, on the bridge and water.

I like the original, myself, Rick. A nice capture of what must be a powerful place to experience.
