A clearing storm in Idaho's Sawtooth Mts this fall led to some moments of sweet light. Thanks for looking!

Nice light an textures on the crags, Jeff. The ridge is aptly named. I also like the Autumn leaves.

Very dramatic, the Autumn foliage adds a nice touch but the light on the peaks is magical.

The subtle touch of sun is a great addition here, Jeff. I like the balance between the lovely leaves, mostly on the right, and the jagged peaks, mostly on the left.

The light dusting of snow really sets the mountains off. Very sharp throughout. I like the way the line of the trees mimics the line of the mountain. Kudos...

I like the light, the colors all of it.
I just sort of want a larger view, as it seems tight to me.

This is a great view Jeff,

I love the tones presented in this image, and there is such a nice play of balance between the mountains and the trees.. The light kissing mountain peaks is just perfect.

Thanks for sharing this sweet view

The gorgeous light on the peaks is the star of the show for me.

Stunning image. The light is really sweet, the detail is great and the color in the foreground adds nicely to the image.

Sweet, indeed. This is just plain awesome. I can't imagine how these mountains got their name, though. ;-)

Nice light on that jagged mountain. I like the added color with the aspens too.
