Thanks to your kind comment.
I am an amateur who want to reproduce as exactly real as possible (no editing as possible)
and what I was impression from scene. So please forgive even it is not professional at all.

A nice big open view to appreciate Jung. Where the green breaks to a hazy blue it looks like waves from the ocean Lots of depth in layers you have captured!

Thanks to your detail comment that would be very appreciated.
I think the best overlook view places are located nearby Waterrock Knob area from which we can
observe Great Smoky Mountain terrain.

Thanks to your comment.
Most Blue Ridge Parkway roads are closed now due to Hurricane Helene, still road working in progress.
Scene from Oconaluftee Parking lot (main Newfound Gap lot is full)
Lots of depth in layers you have captured!
