Beautiful layers and colors!!! I might burn down the top right corner a bit, but really minor. Sweet image.

My favorite spot near the AB hills for many, many years now. I see it's finally starting to catch on Absolutely beautiful layers and light.

After many trips to this area over the years the beauty of the area is unmistakable, Justin. Although my botany is very weak, this shot shares a strong variety of the overall flora of this area around the Alabama Hills. Looks like maybe it was captured along the Moffat Ranch Road area. Only suggestion I have might be to work some toning on the highlights slightly. Regardless a very solid image.

Nice composition with great balance. Love the way I'm drawn through with each area pointing to the next

I always enjoy shots of this area and this is no exception. The layers are excellent and I particularly like the little plumes on the foreground grasses.

This is very well done! I like the layers, different colors, and the hint of the mountains in the backgrounds. This image keeps coaxing me into looking at it again and again! TFS...

Beautiful. The colors and highlights really pop in this. I feel the blue BG kind of distracts a little from the wonderfully warm colors of the FG but that's minor. Very pretty.

Love the layering and light in this. At first glance I was wondering if the MG trees were a bit too centered, but the overall comp and beautiful colors negate that notion. Very nice work !

I know this area well and it's one of my favorite stops for fall color in the eastern Sierra. Very nicely done.

Love all the pastel colors here Justin, and your layered comp works very well. The fg grasses add a lot of visual contrast and interest to the image. Great shot.

There's no mistaking the Eastern Sierra and you captured this area beautifully. Love the low Fall light and the grasses in the fg.

Sweet! I had a feeling this was the Buttermilks before I even clicked on the thumbnail. Great layers of colors and elements!

As all have mentioned, the colored layers of various vegetation is nice. I like the inclusion of the foreground grass seedheads. The snow in the urc is a little catchy though.

Simply Gorgeous Justin! The only thing that could improve this would be if it were hanging on my wall. Can't offer any suggestions and certainly no nits.
