The metal staircase to the viewing platform at a remote canyon in North East Iceland. Going down was the easy part.

I’ve also included the view from the viewing platform one can see in the top right center at the Canyon edge. There is about a 15 m overhang above the canyon. Not a good place for one with acrophobia.

With respect to the second image showing the upstream looking view, the water is brownish green this time of year when there is more of it but turquoise in the summer.

Specific Feedback Requested

Does the color balance work well?

Dizzying, but looks like it’s worth it in the end. You could trim a little off the top and maybe right - it might emphasize the pitch mere.
