What a fantastic array of green! You did well to make it all about the land, as the sky is perfectly clear, so there's less interest there. Nice side lighting, resulting in long shadows, which really add to the overall effect. You picked a good time of day. The trees and grass in the foreground look a touch over-sharpened? Doesn't detract from the image though, which is very pleasing on the eye.

This is a lovely scene, Mark. I like the curve of the hill, the sage or willows in the foreground, and the way the trees dot the landscape. It does seem to me to be missing something to make it really pop. You know, a wolf, an elk, or maybe some wildflowers.

A pleasing early spring scene with the snow still on the peaks. I like the panoramic crop.

Mark, Now that sure looks like spring. The combination of green grass and blue sky looks great and the pano format works very nice here.

Mark,
This is a beauty of a pastoral landscape. The spring greens mixed with the conifers throughout make for a great mix and the foreground "orchard?" of sage makes for a great focal point and near/far comp.
Hard to be critical of anything here. I suppose you might burn down the light-lights of the sage a bit? But that's minor and subjective anyway.
The pano format fits perfectly as well. Excellent.

I like this a lot. The spring greens really pop and make the image. It needs to be viewed large too!

Mark, this is a really breathtaking pano in large format. It really pops there. The side lighting greatly adds to the interest. Lovely lighting and color. Beautiful work.

Hi Mark - We were just there over Memorial Day and it was the greenest and wettest we've ever seen the park. You certainly captured the brilliant greens beautifully with this image, well done!
