My lighting went South when the rain clouds covered the sun. I opted for a 3 image HDR and tweaked it a bit.

Michael, Really nice vibrant colors! I might take a bit off the top just below the top cloud puff if it were mine. I love the colors of the building. Really nice!!

Hi Michael, Agree with Denise on the crop. Been to that spot also...wonder how much water is in the river?
Nice framing and HDR work...

there was enough that if you wanted to go to the prime sunset spot there, you needed wading boots. I did not know that you needed to cross the river to get to that plateau area and had to bail on the idea. Was afraid of slipping with backpack of gear trying to cross barefoot.

Michael, Been there twice and both times the water was so low I couldn't get the classic river to the CR shot.

I'm with the two Ds about the crop as well. Just too much sky for me. Love the punchy colors man! this ROCKS! :)

Beautiful, Michael! The colors and scene are just perfect. Agree that a little crop would improve this already great image!
