It's been a long run of overcast and wet here in the Pacific Northwest. Here's hoping for a sunny spring and summer.

Great blend John :) FG details, colour, overall composition is fantastic! Getting opposite colours (green/red) with such capture is pretty amazing. Everything is nicely exposed and sharp. The clouds are giving a great feeling (the dawn must have been pretty nice:) however, they seem to me a tod soft in comparison the the whole scene.
Nevertheless, I very much like that capture John. The road below give a great perspective!

Delightful colors and beautiful details especially in the foreground, John! I perceive the road as an invitation to travel this great landscape.

Very effective wide angle comp John. I like how the flowers fill the foreground then lead the viewer to the gorgeous color in the sky. Happy Spring!

I like the cooler colors in the middle sandwiched between the hotter colors of the yarrow(?) and the sunrise. An interesting way to balance a lovely image.

Delightful view, John. The fg flowers fit nicely with the hue of the sky and push toward the depth of the image.
