Nice, Daniel.
Warms my heart, A place I have yet to visit.
Very nice focus stack & the nice transition through the climate zones you get in the eastern Gorge.
Well done.

This is very nice, Daniel! The large version works especially well as it puts me right there. Nice comp with beautiful color and the clouds work great for this scene . :smile:

Beautiful colors and love the foreground. I might up the contrast a tad in the sunlit areas in the background but really nice as it stands. So nice to see flowers blooming. Really like the up close and personal perspective.

Lovely scene, with the subtle light on the foreground flowers and the spring greens in the distance. In the larger version is does seem like there's some missing contrast in the tree tops in the canyon, but that's a minor nit on a beautiful scene.

Nice! We don't see enough nice shots in this kind of light.
