"As the Sun Rose"

I captured this scene as the sun rose at Falling Spring Falls, Virginia during a cool autumn morning.

Techs: Canon 7D, Canon 10-22 @ 14mm. 20 seconds, f/13, ISO 200.

Beautiful!!! I like the bird's eye view. The pink sky goes well with the rich autumn colors.

I really like this Chris, beautiful palette of colours, the composition works, though if it was my image I'd be tempted to perhaps crop to just above the lighter foliage at the very bottom of the image.

Wonderful colors. A treat.

A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Lovely image -- I agree with Peter's suggestion about the slight crop at the bottom. A fine shot!

Beautiful spot and image! A bit too much sky for me.

Lovely colors.
I'm not sure about the bottom crop suggestions...that might make things too tight at the base of the falls.
I might just be tempted to darken the light foliage to make it less obvious.

It's a great exposure and great location. For me the composition splits the image in 2, the sky and landscape have equal proportions in the image and I find one competes with the other. I can understand why you wanted to capture this sky, but you have given it far too much of the scene. Finding a lower position might have allowed you to capture both. For now I prefer the square crop of the thumbnail.
