Acadia Embers
by Harry Lichtman
Large Version Included
A final summit view from Cadillac Mountain during sunrise. While my previous post from here was mostly foliage, I liked the pink granite and wanted to include in an image if possible. Thought this was a nice mix of flaming blueberry bushes and the granite angling through the image with a nice splash of lichen to top it off. I like the sky/cloud comp better in this than the previous image.
2 exposures for dynamic range, ISO 400 (windy), f16, 16mm.

Ka Kit - The bush color is accurate - I increased the luminosity / brightness of them - especially the near ones to reflect the ambient back lit conditions I could see. The color would look more like this once the sun rose, but I chose to accent and highlight the near blueberry bushes here.
Dave - Removing the tree more than I am comfortable doing in post. It is the same tree in my prior post from the summit.
I really like the colors, but like Kah Kit can't really speak to the reality since I'm not familiar with the place, wild blueberry plants and the conditions - I wasn't there. But for me, I still love and appreciate the beauty you've captured and presented here.
Breathtaking actually.

ps. Looks like you've got your sharpening dialed in now.
