Sunset is just a few minutes away in this shot of Rattlesnake Mountain and the confluence of the Yakima and Columbia Rivers. Rattlesnake Mt. is close to 4000 ft (1219 meters) high. It is the tallest treeless Mt. in the USA.

must be seen full size, the shadows and light are amazing. The falls trees and brown/red/yellow color scheme is nice. And I couldnt think of a better backdrop, what a gorgeous area of our country.

As far as technical stuff, I think it has a little noise and a slight lack of contrast. The funny thing is tho that this works for this image, it has the old film look, which goes well with the already neutral colors.

It's not very difficult picking out your photos, Michael. They share a certain intimacy with the viewer that few can achieve so consistently.

This is definately one case where a primary color scheme WORKS! Usually I dont like those primary colors together, but this is beautiful. The picture is so crisp and warm but also the air seems so fresh and clean. Its very beautiful and I love the balance you got goin on there. Excellent job.

If God ever took a picture of his creation, he'd probably want it to look something like this. Breathtaking. Though, I'm sure the image hardly does the real thing justice.

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

This scene begs to have a blanket spread on the ground near the river with a basket of fried chicken settin on it.. Luv the capture of the sunstreaks across the grass and against the trunks. I'm glad the leaves in the tops of the big trees are dark and don't draw any attention to themselves. What they hover over is awesome enough.
