| Lovely scape, with V leading lines of rocks in river bed and road meeting in the distance and cars in pic to add human interest. Obligatory leaves at top to add 3D depth. I'd maybe use a UV Haze on lens or during PP. It's perhaps a little too blue. I also UE by at least -0.3 in daylight, more so to get the clouds exposed correctly. Beautiful location. |

| I think your other comments are quite on the mark. For myself, my main impression is that you're trying to convey too much in one photo. The landscape, the river, the road, the leaves at top. I find it all a bit overwhelming. But, on the other hand, I have no idea how to handle a situation like this one. I do like this place though, it is beautiful. |

I think you did a good job getting many details in all areas, both in the dark and the brighter ones, Very hard to bring this huge contrast together in one image. I like the composition, river and road leading you into the scene.
Although I like the bright leaves at the top, you also may consider cropping the image (at the top of the first hill on the left), losing much of the very bright sky.
Nice to read this is Taiwan, when I saw the pic I really thought it was Italy. |

| A hard shot to get without either using HDR or a GND filter, because the sky is so bright and the river so dark. The noonday sun makes it even harder. A lovely place, regardless. I like the framing and the road leading further into the canyon. |

| Beautiful location, but almost impossible to capture correctly, even on a cloudy day like you apparently encountered. I lime the way framed it with the leaves at the top, the leading line of the road, the diagonals from the mountains all work in favor of the picture. The branches at the bottom do not add much. |

| Beautiful scene. I don't know much about landscape photography so I have no suggestions. I do like it and could see it on postcards for that country. |

What a magnificent view - on my monitor the sky has texture and the only part that doesn't is the part right above the ridge on the upper left right above the mountain .. maybe it's time for me to break out the spyder and recalibrate my screen - might explain some comments I get (smile)
For only the second time using payers you did an outstanding job!
Speaking just from my own personal tastes, I do wonder if you saturated (very little) the green f/g trees and the dried up stream? A slight vignette might do the same thing but again, that's just my personal taste and others might find it distracting. I would be very proud to have created such a lovely shot as I do few landscapes too.

| Very nice tones throughout except for the blown clouds. I would not want to drive on this highway, I think. |

| The image has some possibilities. The clouds are blown out, so that is not really fixable, but you could try to tone them down a little. Since it was bright direct sunlight, there is not much you can do to change that either. The comp is nice as the road takes you further into the scene. With a wide dynamic range between the brightest and darkest areas, you might want to do some blending with bracketed shots too. |
