Oneonta Gorge

[Kyle Jones]

I'm waiting to board a flight to Portland on my way to a family reunion in southern Washington. So with that in mind, I figured I'd post something from that area. I took this in the Oneonta Gorge a couple years ago on a spring trip to explore the area around the Columbia River. Any thoughts are welcome.

Beautiful capture Kyle!
I would be tempted to crop that sky portion, it kinda draws my eyes attention too much...

Cheers!

Hey Kyle,

Oneonto I think is one of my favorite area's up there. I really enjoyed hiking back through those deep cavernous walls of rock and ferns. I agree a small crop off the top would work. It's not blown in the sky, so it does look fine as it stands, but I think a crop would push it up a notch.

I wonder if this survived the fire?

Looks like a slot canyon with water and moss. Very nice job Kyle

Love the green reflection down the middle. A sign of a good image is if it invites the viewer to explore and basically lure you in or ask what's around the corner, just like being there.

Nice shot - I wish it still looked like that.

.......I wonder if this survived the fire?

The Oneonta Gorge was one of the worst hit places along with McCord Creek (Elowah Falls).

Like Zeph I love that green reflection, Kyle.

WOWSER What stunning light and details. I love seeing the Rocks and their colors in the Stream, then seeing the Bright Green Foliage and It's reflected light in the Water.

Well Done Kyle, Great handling of the Light !!

Take Care,

Craig

Lovely depth here, Kyle. Nicely done.

Very inviting scene Kyle. This is one place which I haven't visited and may not get a chance to.

Really nice, Kyle. I agree with the small crop of the top. The red pebbles at the bottom really make it for me.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Thanks everyone. Fully agree with the crop suggestion. Not sure what I was thinking...

Nice reflections and colors on the walls. And yes, this area got the worst of it and won't ever be the same in our lifetimes.
