Very interesting image!

I'm not sure you like this suggestion, but if you crop off the right side it makes a very nice abstract too...

Thanks for sharing!

It's amazing how different this area looks from the sky compared to driving through it. A very unique view!

A fascinating view - love the colours and textures. I wish the river on the right was further in to the frame. I might also consider cropping it altogether.

Cool shot. I like cropping the River all together and then raising the contrast and color saturation as a real nice abstract.

Ditto on cropping the river and raising the contrast.

Ditto on the others, i.e. crop the river and increase contrast/saturation. I love the abstract portion, but the river is a distraction :)

Agree about the cropping. The landscape looks really cool though - almost like a torn maple leaf!
