Found an abundance of showy daisies among some nice rocks near Schofield Pass, not far from Crested Butte, Colorado. The overcast light was ideal for capturing them in all their colorful glory.

Great color. Nice saturation. Perfect composition with the flowers crowding right up tight to the boulder. Very nice.

Works very well to me. I like the warm looking rock in the BG, which I think makes an excellent foil for the flowers. A very good image with really nicely saturated colours.

Matthew

Wonderful photo, Todd. The rock compliments the flowers nicely in color and provides a great backdrop here.

Todd,

This is a real winner. Very nicely saturated colors and the clarity of the image is just wonderful. Selecting this group of flowers with the rock as the background was an excellent decision and makes the shot, good job.

I don't know why, but when I saw your shot, I thought "That had to be from Colorado". I just back from two weeks there looking for, among other things, a shot like that. Never did find it with good light... But obviously, you did.

Thanks for sharing.
