Ahh, Mountains
by Nye Simmons
I struggled for a name for this one in addition to struggling with the comp - it winds up being a bit more complacent than I might like but it was a fine afternoon and a great joy to be there - We fought rain and cloud much of the trip and junk was flying all around the neighboring peaks with a hole allowoing light on the far range - will have to research the names of these - they are a little on the sexy side,no? - Todd - any idea of their names ? dont have the maps handy - this is looking east from Columbine Lake in the Weminuche - there were patches of paintbrush all over - the grouping I liked the most would have resulted in great devastation to the colony so I left it alone - this has a little left to right motion after a slight crop - mostly its a trip image rather than high art - but it sure was a great afternoon
btw for those who didnt go back to the prior post that was Fuji NPS - as is this - much less PS work than you might think
there is just a tad cyan in the sky that I may redo later

28 commentsI love the shot, and the flowers look like they were spectacular, at least in spots. (this being one of those spots!) This and the previous post both struck me as a little blue, so perhaps you might want to counter that. But geez, it's awesome. I've been checking the forum every few hours in anticipation of seeing more shots from your trip. I can't wait to see what's next!

This is just remarkable. I love it.
sometimes I very much appreciate the absence of deep red sunset/sunrise light in mountain photography. perfect light for that kind of fg.
btw, good job of holding down the highlights on the mountain.

Very cool. Literally. But I like it this way. The scene feels cool. Great find with the flowers, mountains, and dramatic clouds.

Very nice! Pretty cool place I'd say! I have only one tiny nit and it's the grad line on the ridges to the left and right. But there's not much you can do about that with a straight line! Maybe we should get Bob to make us a custom ND grad in a V shape! I know he could do it!

Love the foreground
You've really captured the feel of the Weminuche wilderness. Spectacular mountains, alpine meadows, huge vistas and gardens of wildflowers. Very nice! Maybe you could simply call it "Weminuche".
