Chet ,

I love the composition and the scene through the window looks perfectly natural to me. The front rocks look a little orange on my Macbook. It could very well just be the Macbook, so see if anyone else sees the same. I love Bryce and you've done a really nice job capturing a scene from it here.

Chet,

The composition is interesting. I like the 'window'. I agree with Pat that the foreground rock is overly orange. I think if you brought that down it would be less distracting. I like the color and tones in the red rock in the background.

I prefer the repost Chet and it looks a lot more natural to me.

Great in your face comp Chet. I agree about the orange being a little overcooked. The small jpeg looks more natural.

Love the color Chet, and I don't think you would have to pull back to much on the orange to get it where you want it, amazing scene, I like it.

The repost looks better to me Chet with more natural colors. An interesting window to the back round scene and a different comp.
Very nice.

Yeah I like the comp and the more subdued colors.

I am in the minority on this one. I actually prefer the warmth of the original post, Chet. The color in the second just looks a little subdued to me.

Hi Chet, This is a cool shot! The comp with the window view works very nice and I like the light you caught here. The color in the repost looks more natural to me. Something in between the two might work as well. :smile:
