(Sedum lanceolatum) This little succulent grows in large patches on rocky outcrops and talus slopes of the mountain. the bright yellow blooms are a wash of color in early summer. Thanks for looking

This is great Nancy. I really like the colors here and the texture is very cool. Because I like the texture I may have been tempted to use even a higher f number to bring out even more of it. One other small thing is it could use a little more room to the top of the frame.

Succulent plants can very interesting in my opinion. Like the colors in this and the bumpy details of some of the stems. A little more room up top may be helpful. A crop suggestion would be to make this a pano eliminating some of the bare stem area and the blossom in the lower right corner by cropping up from the bottom. Sounds like your mountain offers you lots of fine photo opportunities!
