Beautiful!it simply amazes me when you can show us where to find heaven on earth. We might have walked right past it had you not stopped and put a frame around it. Those burst of sun make all the difference. A master piece. Harry, thank you for your talent and time.

I love the colors in this image. They are so radiant. The detail in both the plants and the granite in the large version shouldn't be missed.

Great image, Harry. I'm enjoying exploring all the layers from front to back. My brother Ed and I never go anywhere near the summit. Just too many people. Photos like this abound further down anyway. Check out Duck Brook Road next time. THere's usuall some great color there.

Superb Harry,
Nice color splash and diagonal comp.
The fog adds a lot to the scene which is why you stuck around....
A bit crunchy on the web, minor nit.

Really nice Harry. Excellently composed with the layers and patches of color. The clouds add a lot of mood here. I'm grateful to the person in the comments pointing out that I shouldn't miss the large version. :)

Dan - I can't seem to solve the crunchy uploads - I process on a 4K monitor and smooth gradients are difficult to produce when sharpening for web, despite reduced sharpening. I've been searching the web for a solution - not much seems to work. Any ideas out there?
Ed - Yes, I stayed well off the top of the summit - Few to no people and comps seemed more interesting. I'll have to check out Duck Rd. The nearby peaks were really nice and few people as well for alpine foliage.

I've tried an online sharpening action to see if it reduces some of the crunchiness of the upload. Hope this is an improvement.

Harry, I didn't see the crunchiness in this image but have in the past. I use Tony Kuyper's web sharpening tool and am satisfied with it. Incidentally, the images on your website don't have any crunchiness to them so I really don't understand it all.

Harry,
Gorgeous autumn image! There is so much to explore with the color throughout; even repeating as it fades in to the background. The sunlight is a great bonus too!
I would agree that the original large view is slightly crunchy and can say that I think the repost works much better in that regard. Wish I could offer any tips or suggestions. I also use TK's sharpening action.
Love this Harry.
Lon

Beautiful, Harry. Great color and the fog really enhances the mood. No nits here.

Harry, the colors do indeed glow in the red and yellow foreground elements with the fog adding a special feeling. Comparing the original with the repost, there's a subtle smoothing, especially in the rock, but I don't think it makes much of a difference at NPN sizes.

This is beautiful, Harry! The color is of course the star and rightly so. I like the diagonal line in the composition formed by the red and gold foliage. The clouds add a lot to the scene as well. Nicely done!
