Shifting gears a little bit, here is an image from my trip to RMNP in the summer. This was taken along the western side of Trail Ridge Road overlooking the Never Summer Range.
Vibrant sunrises and sunsets were hard to come by on this trip, but this one seemed to have it all. I'm particularly fond of the glowing tarn as it carries a lot of visual weight despite it's small size relative to the composition.
As always all comments and critiques are welcome.

6 commentsThe sweeping size of the view you captured is grand Brian, especially with the warm light. I agree, the reflected color in the tarns is a highlight. The image is a bit dark, but opens nicely against the large version's dark background.
Indeed the larger view opens up much better. what a grand view, fabulous sky and the viewer gets a hint of what it would have been like standing there.
I'm kinda wishing for less of the foreground, but given the slope, I'm not sure you could have just walked up to the edge... ;without losing the elevation and much of the view. I'm really liking the patchwork of snow and reflection off the little ponds - which is why I'm wishing for more of that view. In the end though, larger view is so grand that the foreground is less of an issue for me.
Can't really find anything to suggest other than perhaps shaving a tad off the bottom (guess I'm still thinking about that..) If anything, it would emphasize a more pano view. Just a thought.
