Large Version Included

A final summit view from Cadillac Mountain during sunrise.  While my previous post from here was mostly foliage, I liked the pink granite and wanted to include in an image if possible.  Thought this was a nice mix of flaming blueberry bushes and the granite angling through the image with a nice splash of lichen to top it off.  I like the sky/cloud comp better in this than the previous image.

2 exposures for dynamic range, ISO 400 (windy), f16, 16mm.

I like the dark corner. I don't know why but I do. I think you've gone too far with the reds in this image. Would like to see them darker.

Love it, Harry, but I agree with Igor, the reds seem a little hot, gorgeous though.

This is absolutely stunning Harry. I love all of it. The sky, the granite, the blueberries especially. Fantastic lighting and colors without overdoing any of it, some like it hot.... Thank you for sharing this work of art.

Gorgeous image, Harry. Love the reds of the blueberry woven about the rock, complementing the golds in the distant sky.  An outstanding image in my opinion.

The best one yet for me.  Colors are outstanding and I like the diagonal flow of the rock that curves to the seascape.
Very nice.

I really like the composition here. It does seem like there is a heavy orton style glow on the image that could be dialed back a bit. The reds do seem a little hot.

Loving the colours and the eye being drawn out to the coast on the horizon. The reds look really sweet, bit I'm not familiar enough with these plants to comment on how authentic their vividness is.

Well done Harry.  My only suggestion is to consider removing the little tree almost in the centre of the image.  Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the observations folks.
Ka Kit - The bush color is accurate - I increased the luminosity / brightness of them - especially the near ones to reflect the ambient back lit conditions I could see.  The color would look more like this once the sun rose, but I chose to accent and highlight the near blueberry bushes here.

Dave - Removing the tree more than I am comfortable doing in post.  It is the same tree in my prior post from the summit.

Harry, this is just plain gorgeous.  Love the composition - my comment here is how I think the red foliage "cups" not only the granite, but the distant view as well; excellent comp!

I really like the colors, but like Kah Kit can't really speak to the reality since I'm not familiar with the place, wild blueberry plants and the conditions - I wasn't there.  But for me, I still love and appreciate the beauty you've captured and presented here.

Breathtaking actually.

Lon

ps. Looks like you've got your sharpening dialed in now.

Another beautiful scene, but I would agree with the other comments about the reds, First thing I thought of when I opened it up. Those plants draw my attention and pretty much lock it there. But based on your comments, sounds like that is what it looked like in the field.
