Nice graphic feel to this image. It shows how desolate the area is. The colors and the plane window make it look like a drawing on a map.

I also feel the image has a map quality to it. I like how the river starts on the lower left and works it's way through guiding the eye. I realise there is a haze which is making the image a bit flat. A contrast boost might give the image more dimension...

It was also raining....

I agree the image has a nice look to it. Good composition with interesting river pattern through it. I expect the flatness of the contrast so you call on increasing it or not.

Robert I'm allready back from this years trip.......

Hey Dale,
Very nice job composing this through the window.....the flow of the river really works nicely. I would try an LCE to see if that removes the haze/rain.....although that may take away some of the mood. Very nicely done!

[Morkel Erasmus]

nice scene here Dale, like the winding river and vibrant colours...agree with Roman on running LCE here :)

[Bob Miller]

I do not usually care for aerials much but this one is really nice! Love the graphic quality! I like it as presented!

The colors and flowing river really make this image. It does have a illustration look to it.
