I like the solid blocks of color and the comp. Was that the sky as it was, or did you play with it again?

The sky was overcast over that way. I just darkened it up a little. A storm was on the way.

It tries to steal my eye from your subject. Just sumthin' ain't right about it. :(

You got LOTS of editors picks! Clicked on it accidentally. Congrats!

I agree. The sky doesn't match the light on the subject. Oh well. I will just have to go back and shoot it again.

Do go back. It is a wonderful place to spend time. You can get a good "long shot" of the light from the hill just south of Camden. The only downside to that is the summer traffic there. The Surprise is a better choice :P

Your angle is much better than from the hill.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

A picturesque shot. An alternative comp might be to include the water and leave out the sky altogether. Hindsight 50-50 right? :^)
