These are the last pics for us from the UP for this Fall. The Copper Harbor area is prime color. Inland is past prime. IMO the UP is up there with Utah, The Rockies and the Oregon Coast for photo opps. The only problem is it is on the way to no where. C/C appreciated.

Your photos are very nice but IMO your post processing makes the images look flat. The colors are all subdued so they just don't pop.
Thanks John. I'll experiment with some contrast and vibrance.
The lighthouse is actually in Eagle Harbor. Eagle River has the waterfall with the giant potholes and the wood structured bridge just downstream from the fall.
I really like the subject matter and composition of these photographs especially #2 and #3. You caught some beautiful water motion and colors. I was at Copper Harbor a month ago, and I can attest, it is not a walk in the park to come away with great shots up there. These are much better than what I went away with. The only thing I question with these are the post processing, they have a rather crispy look to them.
Oh, did you stop by Steve Brimm's studio in Copper Harbor? I thought he had some wonderful work of the area.

Thanks for the clarification, Ben. Sorry that we missed the waterfall- what a beautiful area.

Thanks for the comments, Ben. I'm still sorting out what PP works best for me. I didn't know about Steve's studio, I'll be sure to check it out next time we're there.
Really pretty scenes. My only advice would be to put something a little stronger into the foreground. Image #3 comes closest, but I would suggest either including more of the foreground rock or cropping it out completely, getting closer to the second rock into the scene (in camera). However, you might not have had a lot of places to stand. The footing looks treacherous.
