Linville Gorge light and color (a nod to Leann!)

Wow, this is some of the most amazing light I have seen. I'm impressed there's no evidence of flare. What lens did you use here?

Guy

Very nice color and light !

This is very nice, Todd. I'm also amazed that you got no flare. Was this a prime lens?

Great light Todd, the glow is amazing

What awesome light and colour.

Thanks, Guy(s). I took this with my Tamron 24-135mm lens. What you don't see is the evidence of my gloved hand, which I cropped off the top of the image before posting. Without it, this was flare city.

Wonderful colors, nice vibrant shot. Somehow this image conveys a 3-D feeling others don't. Well done.

Cool shot! (Yikes, you were on that ledge weren't you?? )

Your out of this world offering has just cleared my "yet to be posted" from this same composition but different day. I am so excited to see this! Btw I have some with the edge of my cupped hands showing up
I was there Sunday 10/29.

Very, very nice! A dripping with color, top of the world, bold image.

Well Leann, we missed you by one and two days. Jerry and I were there as the storm arrived and the rain moved in, filling the gorge with fog, and then on Saturday morning for sunrise, which is when this shot was taken.

On Sunday we were at my favorite point of the entire trip: Atlanta Motor Speedway!!! (Although my dream of Tony Stewart involved in a lap one crash didn't materialize. Quite the contrary. Ugh. )

Wondeful image Todd, love the light

Definently gives the feeling of being on a cliff..and the light is fantastic.

Great shot Todd

"Very cool place, this Wiseman's View. I'd put it up there with a lot of places in Colorado."

What about JOR on the morning I left??? Yeah, I heard about it. Somebody spilled the beans. I hate you guys.

By the way, very cool image here. Gorgeous light.

amazing light TC. And works great overall.

Great use of flare to create a dramatic moment. Really a neat take on this subject.

Great image Todd, nice work controlling the flare, I have quite a few shots with a hand just showing on the edge.

Sheeez, that's great! Beautiful light and wonderful vantage point. Even the little things like the complimentary colors of the two main trees make this good to the last drop.

Nice light and color, Todd. IIWM (If It Were Mine), I'd be inclined to increase the symmetry by lopping off the right side. Those with the 2:3 format need to remember that cropping is permitted

Very unique view, not to mention some killer light and color. Very nice indeed.

Beautiful and original.

Beautiful image, I like how the round curve of the flared light mimics the opposite curve of the midground hill. If I'm being honest, I don't like the electric blues, as in the foreground rocks. Perhaps a little less saturation or adjust the cyan selectively? Otherwise, really nice. Tim

Very sweet shot, Todd. I love the glow.

You could've been in my shoes on Sunday; at work watching the Colts v Broncos game

Excellent shot and thanks for sharing

Spectacular exposure Todd. I love the perspective also, makes me feel like I'm hanging over the edge!

Sweet colors and light from a bold perspective. Well done!

Beautiful warm light, and wonderful vibrant NC colours!. This gorge is as close as it gets here out east to the CO canyons!, your experience there paid off here!. Great image Todd!.

Congrats on the EP

Way to go Todd, congrats on your EP selection. Very well deserved!

Sweet light and subject !

Don

Just gorgeous! Well seen and processed. Excellent!

Original idea for a composition Todd and some amazing light and colour here. Congrats.
