A Scene from the Gorge +edit

[AlanLichty]

This is one of many unprocessed images shot in the Columbia River Gorge from this last fall. Young Creek is the waterway in the scene with the outflows of Shepperd's Dell and Latourell Falls draining into Mirror Lake just below Crown Point in the distance. Single frame shot at 70mm.

C&C always welcome.

Edit - used generative fill as per Jameel's suggestion to fill in the edge of the creek on the left:

This.... might be one of my favorite photos of the gorge by you Alan. Love the fall colors and the leading line of the creek.

Thanks Jim - I liked the scene when I shot it but was annoyed that I cut off the edge of the creek on the left and didn't grab another shot on the left for a stitch. This was about two weeks before peak colors but the early yellows were much stronger than they would be in the first week of November when orange ruled the visible color spectrum.

Nice colors and the stream adds to the image. You can try expanding the canvas and have generative fill take care of the creek edge.

Excellent even with the slightly cut off stream channel.

Thanks Jameel - that was too easy. Not sure why I didn't even consider using generative fill to expand the canvas. New edit at the top.

Thanks Doug - new version at the top with the creek magically visible now

Generative fill is amazing.

Generative fill is amazing.

I almost feel that getting a result like this should take more work than it does.
