I did highlight the waterfall and softened it a bit and also darkened the foreground which was fairly bright. Other than that it was standard post processing and cropping.

Le Tho didn't include my comment about my camera settings which basically was "what was I thinking." I had taken a different kind of shot and didn't change from f9 and a high ISO to take this shot - clearly not appropriate. I would hope some of you would note that so I will just confess up front. |

The first place in the US to see a sunrise. Having been there, I think you picked a great spot to take this shot. I liked the foreground element you picked and the position to have leading lines going down the mountain. The image appears sharp throughout and the exposure, saturation and cropping all appear appropriate to my eye. I don't have any meaningful suggestions. A nit might be to clone out the edge of the water puddle in the bottom left. |

This to me is a sharp, colorful, well composed and processed image. I like you choose a high elevation and had the street going up in the straight center of your image. Thanks for including your processing steps. I would not have any added suggestions for you. My only observation is that to my eyes it appears the image loses sharpness as the DOF falls off. Using a smaller aperture or focus stacking would have been an option, but it could be you nailed the hyperfocal distance, and I am just not seeing the clarity with our lower res files. |

An incredible drive captured and documented by the composition of your image. I really like the "multiple 'S'" curves and the repetitive points of land receding into the distance. The bridge adds a real point of interest and is well placed. I like the sharpness and DOF you captured through the bridge. Just my own personal preference is not to have the distant mountains and trees denoised as much as in this image because they seem unnaturally soft to my eyes. Some suggestions: I would think about bumping clarity and saturation a bit and cloning out the parking area in the bottom right hand corner of the image. I confess to being an extreme cropper so I would consider removing about 1/3 of the sky. |

I agree with your choice to make this a b/w with toning and think you have done a good job of highlighting the buildings to draw the eye there. I like the placement of the buildings in the image and that there is room at both ends for them to fit in and provide a sense of place. I also like the darkened areas on the left side of the image and the framing by the tree. My only suggestions are to slightly and subtly darken the top right hillside and maybe lighten the darker part of the garage's roof. |

It looks like you have captured the "alpine glow" well including the white balance choice. I like that the mountain takes up 2/3 of the frame and rises from right to left to give more energy to the dome so I agree with your composition choices. My only suggestion is to increase the exposure maybe 0.5 stop. |
