I had to rub my eyes twice to make sure I wasn't just imagining this nice little clump of moss campion perched center-stage on a rock in front of this waterfall. Enjoy!

Enjoying!! Beautiful image, fantastic colors and detail. Love the add bonus of the waterfall in the BG.

Indeed, this is quite a find, and you've captured it very well. The flowers remained sharp with the long exposure, and their color is very well saturated!

If I were to nit...the middle ground is a bit strong and perhaps a bit hot...might you have a shot of this from a slightly lower angle as well?

WOW, this is more than just a flora photo. I'd pit this in the Ess area as well. Very very nice.

Very well done. Great eye. I love the waterfall element. It's nice to see the occasional waterfall not as the primary point of interest. Great composition. Excellent exposure. Well done.

Superb! I get a little excited about moss campion anywhere and the water back drop is a great bonus that I would guess to be a rare find.

I really like the arrangement of elements here, what a find! The image has a very serene vibe that's quite enjoyable- very nicely done.

Todd,

A great find and a wonderfully executed photo. But that goes for most of your San Juans work lately!!!

Congrats on the EP!
