this is really dark...not able to really see much with it....does add to "harsh" feel though.

Ok, with all of the "harsh" scenery shots in this challenge, all of the birds eating insects/wildlife.....THIS shot really stands right out! LOVE IT!!! I'm not a traditional voter in the sense that I go for the "highly manipulated" scenery shots so, this one really hit me well! I think we need more photos like this in DPC and hopefully, voters will eventually see the "value" in shots like this one.

Not sure how you're doing score wise. My bet is that your score is kind of suffering somewhat due to it not being a traditionally "loved" shot here, but to me, it's brilliant! Nicely done! 9

wonderful shot! Very lovely colors and composition! Even though I know the harshness of erosion, it still looks very "serene"! *smile*

Love the shot. It certainly hits the "harsh". Somehow the green river just doesn't sit well. Not sure why. Might be just my personal taste, but lovely shot!
