Another from the same meadow in Zion as posted previously. What can I say? I liked this meadow. Image cropped to pano. Because of the pano format, please view the large version. Thanks for looking. Comments welcome.

Although the scene is somewhat chaotic, I think it really works because of the variety of color. I really like the blues in the grasses. Nicely seen.

Love the variation in autumnal tones throughout as well as the cooler tones seen in the meadow. The dark branches and trunks are really nice. Your choice of a pano format works very well, emphasizing the flow of movement from right to left providing by the curves in the trees. Outstanding work.

Scott,

I think this is outstanding! I love everything about this. There is great interest and detail corner to corner and I love the detail throughout. I love the balance of detail and elements and there is just an easy and gentle flow to the composition that allows the eye to wander and enjoy everything that this has to offer. I love it.

this image makes it easy to see why you like this location. The color is rich, the textures are varied, and the feeling is fresh and natural. I really like this one.

At first glance this may seem a bit chaotic, but upon further inspection, it has a nice cohesiveness to it Scott. The color palette here is very attractive, and the blues in the grasses add a wonderful contrast to the warm fall colors of the foliage. I also think the pano works perfect to lead my eye through the scene. The large version is especially nice! Very well seen!

It's nice to see a Zion image that doesn't scream ZION. The large version is very nice.

I really like this scene! Look at all the different shades of green to be had in the foreground. My idea of the perfect hike!

I love the scene and all the subtle colors and textures. This would look great very large. I do keep wanting to see more at the top.

A beautiful scene, especially the large version. Looks like an idyllic spot to walk through, enjoying the obviously gorgeous day. I can practically "feel" like I'm there.

Interesting take on Zion. I like how you concentrated on the parts of Zion that are sometimes missed as we gawk at the towering sandstone.

A nice pano, Scott. Well composed, showing various fall color states with good tree lines,
and FG foliage really makes it complete.
