I welcome everyone's comments and critics... They have helped me see what I miss or reaffirm certain things. Enjoy!

I'm sure there could be any number of similar titles for this one as it does seem to be an image that tugs at you emotionally. I like it for the colors, the scene itself, and the shafts of sunlight. The pano is certainly effective at helping to create that impression. Nicely done.

Wonderful light filtering through to create multiple layering in a panoramic that I find attractive. I might back off a little on the yellow greens they seem a touch overpowering for the delicate filtered light.

Sweet inviting image, Craig. I seem to be wanting more foreground, but I'm sure you thought about that decision pretty well. The green is a tad strong.

Looks nice Craig. I like the soft light a lot. I think I'd like to more of the water in the foreground so that the waterline acted as leading lines. Also, you might consider deepening the black just a little.The sun rays give this a nice glow.

The colors look true to me for the Gorge.
A nice view you captured. A bit more contrast and definitely some more foreground for me.
An original look at a Gorge scene, nice vision...

I would just ditto the foreground comments. The green, while a bit surreal, feels true to that misty green of the gorge. Sunwashed moss gets pretty limey.

Beautiful filtered light in the canyon Craig. I too would have liked more foreground but the scene is wonderful as is. Very nice.

Foreground aside, the light beams and atmosphere are wonderful. I would burn down the shadows on the right some, to better draw the eye down the gorge. Well done

Beautiful! a little more fg, as mentioned, would make this stunning. Love that shaft of light.

Not an easy shot to get. Great job here Craig.

For some reason it feels a little cut off from the bottom to me. Still great.
