I was in Rochester, NY last week for a conference, and snuck out one night for a short hike and some photos. Canon 20D, 17-40 @ 36 mm, f/11, 2 stop graduated neutral density filter. Two exposures combined, 1/5 second and 1/15 second. All feedback appreciated. Thanks!

I like the subtle color in the bluffs and the sweep of the vegetation. For a completely different image, I wonder what this would've been like with the bluffs in silhouette and a little richer color in the water.

Kelly. very nice presentation. Very subtle.

I lived in Rochester for a while and didn't even know about these.

Your lucky you saw the sun at all while there.

Kelly, You did a wonderful job balancing the exposures. I like the detail in the bluffs and think there would have been too much black had you left them in silhouette (just my opinion). You could always bump the saturation in the water/sky if you wanted. I really like the subtle colors though.
