Fall's Fiesta

10 of us from the Pacific Northwest Forum here on NPN met last weekend in the Trout Lake area of Washington. On Saturday morning we took a stab at Mt. Adams from the meadow where I took Morning Glory. While waiting to see if the mountain would show, we played with the fall color lining the edge of the meadow. This image was taken before sunrise when the light was rather cool; I like the way it brought the color out of the blue leaves.

(Adams did show, but only partly and after the best sunrise color had passed.)

Lovely shot John! The colors are very intense and pop off the page. My kind of photo. It's awesome that a bunch of you guys can get together. I hope to see more from the area.

Sweet image, John. This reminds me of a beautifully colored mosaic. Looks like the alternate plan worked out rather well.

I like the colors and detail here. Your Mt. Adams and Trout Lake images are spectacular.

Very nice abstract John. I might be tempted to crop a little off the bottom so that the only thing showing was the leaves and not the small "blank" area.

Woooww! These are some crazy colors! Total impressionism. (or something like that. I'm no art expert)

Wonderful composition and richly saturated colors make this unique among fall foliage images. I like the abstract feel to this
