Signal Ridge

A final image from an alpine spring shoot from atop Mount Carrigain in NH's White Mountains. The beauty of this vantage point is 360 degree views without roads or towns interrupting the view. I just loved the warm light of sunrise hitting the high points of the peaks and trees. This view is more of a SE view compared to the previous post which was a westerly view.

Such a calming picture! Should be a great print! I maybe would have liked to see a tiny bit more of the trees in the foreground, but I am not sure if they would become to dominant in that case maybe. But this is great as it is!

Nice red light throughout the scene. This looks like it may be a nice sunset location too judging from the west-facing slope.

Fantastic view Harry.. This has amazing balance for such an expansive view. Colors are sweet with the perfect amount of shadow detail. No nits from me. Very nice.

Love the depth in this image Harry. Beautiful warm light and nice pink skies as well. I too think this will make a great print!

The vastness of this perspective is pure eye-candy. The contrasting foreground mtn pops and separates so well from the rest of the photo… depth seems real. Sky and its lighting is processed expertly. Well done!

Yep, this one works for me. Hmmm? Maybe burn the foreground trees just a bit; especially the taller one on the left. Otherwise, this looks great, Harry.
