Beautiful captures!
I love Greenbrier also!
So you know. Not all were from there, but some. There are places in the park I think I could visit for a long time and come away with different things.
Last one is the best of the bunch even if there (likely) was some human assisted housekeeping done to make it prettier :-) The hard rock contrasting with the soft moss is special. My only nit is the color balance - a tad too much on the yellow side for my taste.

, Believe it or not, but I did not touch a thing in the field on this image. Mind you, I'm not opposed to doing so if needed, but not in this case. I remember thinking how lucky I was to find the scene already set up like that. As for the yellow cast, I'm in agreement with you. It doesn't look that way on the original file, but it did upload to FM that way. I've had this happen before and I've pretty much given up trying to figure out why. It doesn't happen every time, but it did on this one. And I think it may be my favorite as well. The details in the lichen, mushrooms, and decayed wood is really compelling to me.

You may try embedding the profile in the JPEG when exporting for web. If you load it without a profile some browsers interpret it automatically as sRGB, others use you monitors LUT. Chrome is one of the notable ones that uses the latter. I have seen it mangle the tonality of JPEG images time and time again.
Incidentally, all my browsers are set to "force use sRGB" and things still look yellow. If you edited in ProRGB or Adobe RBG and did "convert to profile" at the end you may want to make sure that it did not clip the yellow corner of the color space. Anytime this happens on a file with a dominant color the color will go "neon bright" on you and it will be very difficult to bring back. This is what I am guessing is going on here - you had a strong but in-control yellows during the process, which may have gotten clipped during the conversion to sRBG.
