Road 7 Surprise

Yeah, I'd be happy too! I've been here once. The conditions were nowhere near this good. The color was still early, and a blank clear miday sky. I'd love to have something like this. Wonderful light on the peak. The colors are just right too.

Laurent,

Excellent. It really caught my eye and the comp is wonderful.

Fantastic color Laurent. The drama in the sky makes this even more fantastic. Beautiful work.

Beautiful light and composition Laurent!

Wonderful! 50 or not, I'm glad you made this too.

Yeah, it's pretty sexy alright. Very nice

It is a beauty, Laurent. I am really liking the way the bare ground leads me through the scene amongst all the color.

Gorgeous Laurent. Love how the meadow leads the eye towards the mountains. Fantastic color and composition.

Congratulations on winning 3rd Place at the 2009 RMNP Fall Colors Contest with this one, Laurent!
This is a natural beauty and deserved an award.

This is gorgeous, Laurent. Those colors are magnificent. I'd be perfectly happy to make an image like this, even if I was standing next to 50 other photographers at the time. Good work, dude!

Ah, wow, this is just toooooo good.

This is really good Laurent.
Can't wait to see your favorite!!!!

The thing I like about this image is how the aspens recede into the background. That little tiny creek adds a nice touch also. I like it.

Lots to like here - great fall colors, spectacular peaks, beautiful sky...very sexy!

Wonderful Laurent! What a majestic fall image. Love the colors here and what the film did with the foliage. Super shot!

I knew when I saw this thumbnail that I had to click on it Laurent. Gorgeous and dramatic fall image. Love it!

Can't blame ya for lining up to get this, a beautiful classic

Wow! This is great stuff. Fabulous color and light . . . I'd be thrilled to have come back with this.

Sadly photographers generally are fast becoming something of a plague in some locations. My solution, when faced with a phalanx of photographers all pointing their lenses in the same direction is usually to slink off and find somewhere quieter.

On the other hand, when faced with a scene like this even I might find it hard to "just say no".

Simply gorgeous Laurent, color, comp, light, a beauty in every way.

Whats not to love! The sky is great!

quite sexy indeed...

I've been shooting so much wildlife lately, that the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this was 'wouldn't it be great if there was a moose standing in the open patch in the foreground?' And yes, I think that would be very cool indeed, but this shot is good enough to work even without a moose. Well done.

Incredible crispness and detail with intense color. A true epic image!!

Best,

Jose

Fantastic! I love the autumn color and the drama in the sky, Laurent. This is one beautiful image.

Ed

Pretty sexy shot no matter how many people next to you. Rockin

Beautiful capture Laurent, Nice work.

Gorgeous shot, and congrats again on the 3rd place finish with this over on the RMNP fall colors contest. Very deserving.

Laurent,

The color's great, but the compositional lines of the intersecting valley are what makes this shot for me.

Chris

Very nice, Laurent. Beautiful landscape with awesome conditions. Great capture.

really nice shot Laurent -- great color and comp!

I also shy away from having the icon or similar shots to someone, but this would probably have me snapping away right next to everyone. Wonderful scenery.

Beautiful. Love everything about this.

Absolutely fabulous, Laurent! I'd love to see a big print of this.
(This was my #1 pick on the RMNP contest)

I thought you were gonna win the RMNP fall contest with this. I love the bold colors and great comp, Laurent. Probably one of my favorites from you.

Beautiful image, Laurent. Congrats again on the RMNP win.

This is stunning. A keeper for sure!

Hi Laurent Fabulous composition and color .... A winner
Albert Darmo Canada

Stunningly beautiful. A great calendar picture.

What an amazing landscape. I could deal with 100 people if I could find a scene like this.

Classic shot... and very well done!

Laurent,

50 you say? I would have never guessed, this just feels like you were the only one there... :-)

Seriously, this is an incredible autumn landscape. I'm sure the other 49 are happy too.

Tiny, but I love the hint of the blue in the stream lower left - adds a nice element to this already gorgeous scene.

Wish I had been there too.

Lon

Very striking Laurent! I like the way the opening in the colors leads you to the distant mountains.

Glorious colors and a wonderful comp. Who cares if 50 others were there? AWESOME work. Congrats on the EP and the RMNP win for this shot
