Columbia River Gorge: Storm Clearing

The photograph was captured one evening after the storm was begining

to clear over Columbia River Gorge. All ratings and comments are

welcome.

Jay well done -- and the Columbia rolled on....

Wow, Incredible clouds! Overall this is great, and just what I expect from you. I might have burned the river a touch, it looks a bit light to me considering the grad.

Nice spacious perspective Jay...and colour. And cloud structure..all we need is a barge and slightly sharper. 6/6

Cheez! You keep doing it! You are either the luckiest, or most patient guy in the world - you always catch the spectacular.

Jay, you are called the most luckiest and patient man on earth, but I think you are a talented photographer...here you have captured some spectacular colors or what!! Wow...!!! It's been a long time since I saw anything from you!! 7/7

Jay,

 

You have some great stuff in your portfolio, but this, i think, is your best. very well done!

6/7

Good to see you back...nice work!

What a maginificient image! Colours, light, DOF, composition,make this a stunning shot. Heartiest congratulations.

Beautiful moment and a perfect shot! It is all about timing, of which you have a tremendous sense.

This sort of reminds me of a wonderful dinner buffet! All sorts of beautiful things to look at. Initially I thought it might work better with less sky, but in reality, that is what makes it stand out as unique in my opinion. The lighting is indeed golden, and composition is exceptional! Great work here.

Wow, Jay, very nicely done. The glow on the cliff and clouds is beautiful. Vincent is right. The sky really completes this image.

I love this one. Looking at it makes me feel like I'm standing there.

Thanks everyone for stopping by and taking time to critique this photograph.

Superb colors, gorgeous sky ! Compositionwise nothing to improve, excellent landscape. The ND filter darkens the hilltop on the right (surely a minor point). Congrats, Carsten

It is not the ND filter that darkens the top of the mountain, but rather a cloud blocking the light. Big puffy clouds behind me were sporadically blocking the light on parts of the scene (similar to the shadow between Crown Point and Columbia River Gorge).

This one fits my mood so well...dramatically divided...so much beauty and yet darkness still lurks in the distance. Hope you have a successful trip and feed my appetite for more such wonders.

the plain river has destroyed this image. although the sky looks spectacular.

Great capture of some dramatic light and color, Jay!

I don't see why everyone is going ga-ga over this. So you got a great sky and color. So you got a great location and composition. You always take great photographs. So what's all the hoopla about? Regards.

Great sky and nice lighting makes this stand out. The water lacks detail, but otherwise this works for me.

Thanks for your inputs...I checked the original image and realized that indeed there was textures and color to the water that I had accidentally removed. I replaced the original version with the corrected one. :-))

This wonderful image has a surreal quality to it as if taken in another world. Any hobbits cross your path?

this is a wonderful view and shot in the same time!

Excellent work Jay! Saw this on the front page and thought I would comment. I really enjoy your work. Keep it up!
