Excellent post! I thought one of the Cs was claritiy, or maybe that's diamonds. Never the less, that's here too.lol The colors are sensational and the view is leading us in.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Great shot, with one minor exception -- the man-made "something" in the left background. Difficult to clone out, though. Aside from that, this certainly makes me think I'm in a natural wilderness, and that's a good feeling.
In addition to all the above C's mentioned above I really like the full array of color found in this one small area...quite beautiful...great shot.:Pat.
Well, all technical aspects aside, I love this...that's about as technical as I can get here, because I'm just loving the way it's making me feel....love the fall :)
Derain makes a good point about the colors and manipulation. When I first saw this photo of mine, I thought I needed to manipulate the colors to make the colors look less vibrant and more of like a regular capture, thinking no one would believe it was this gorgeous. But the scene here looks just like this to my eye prior to snapping the photo and the reason I took the pic in the first place. And I was further convinced to leave it alone once I saw the photos of the same scene my friend took with a disposable camera. The vibrant colors were in those photos, as well.
