Fireside

Very colorful flowers Gary, but the low perspective kinda blocks the mnts a little. Maybe a higher view would be more predictable, but I do miss the depth created by looking over the flowers a little more.

Beautiful scene with the Fireweed in the foreground with the river and mts behind. I do agree that a higher view would also make a nice image. Well done Chet

Beautiful bouquet of fireweed and yarrow. Love the rich colors

It takes looking at the larger version to let the fireweed take center stage here, Gary. That version shows some fine colors in the flowers. I think a pano crop, with a lot less sky helps emphasize the fireweed in this view.

The colors look great in this image Gary, and they have such a vibrant and fresh feel about them. I think the flowers are shown off nicely, but I guess I want a bit higher perspective to gain some depth. I agree with Harry that is more predictable, but I find myself looking for it.

Regardless, this image works for me.

Gary, This is really a nice view and I especially like the feel you captured here. There is such a crisp and fresh look which makes this very inviting. I think the sky with those clouds really add to this and makes for a great finishing touch. I do understand the thoughts on a little higher view but it works nice for me as you have it. Quite possible you couldn't get any higher right here as well.

Gary, I think I'm in the higher perspective camp. the scene and the colors are very nice.......I just feel a little blocked.

A sure winner in my book. Enjoy the foreground of fireweed that enhances the dramatic scene.

It's unconventional, but I like that the flowers block a somewhat uninteresting middle ground. I'd be tempted to clone out where the flower tips break out over the mountatins. Well done.

I think I am in the higher vantage camp, too. However, I do like the scene as is: I feel like I'm sitting on a rock just taking it all in. I might be tempted to crop from the left to eliminate the bright plant in lower left corner. The color and the exposure look very nice, Gary.

I like this as is, but I would be curious to see this with a higher POV for comparison, Gary. I like the splash of color with the fireweed along with those white fluffy clouds. Nicely done.
