The greens are wonderful and the flow and depth provided by the stream work really well. This feels a bit right heavy to me, which has me wondering about cropping maybe 2/3rds of the way to the stream edge on the right.

Nicely composed and processed, Daniel. Love all the lush green.

Great shutter speed for this. IMO a little burn of top center to keep eye movement in the frame. :wavey:

This is very nice, Daniel! It is such an interesting looking place and you really captured the mood in this image. I hope I make it there one day! :smile:

Nice, Daniel.
You made this mundane Gorge creek shine.
I might just darken the light slot in the far background.

Wonderful perspective here. Great job engineering the pano. I think the brightness of the stream in the distance works great as a focal point. Perfect shutter speed IMO, too.

You gotta love those greens of the PNW. Even in the winter they still look lush. I also like your SS choice and the diagonal flow to this, Daniel. This is probably just an illusion, but it looks like it needs just a touch of CCW roatation.

Ed - I leveled this with my on camera bubble level and it still looked like it needed CCW rotation so I did some in post-production - and I guess it needs more. Optical illusion? Thanks.

Super detail and greens in the large version Daniel and a really great composition which leads me into the scene wonderfully. Water looks great also. :toast:
