Thanks Earl. Couldn’t agree more about the trick of finding the right path!

Beautiful image, Mark. Love to follow the layers from the field of flowers to the mountains to the sky. It all works together wonderfully.

Magestic. The colors are outstanding. The trees provide perspective on just how huge this landscape is.
I completely agree about technology.

Hey Mark,

Like Ron said, those kinda clouds are up here are a rare treat indeed. Great stuff.

The trees look mostly like Balsam poplar to me, particularly in the foreground.

I’m with you on the fad thing. We live in a world where solutions are always framed in something that comes with a receipt – buy this, buy that, etc, and your world will be a better place. The rate at which that is growing is somewhat frightening to me.

Lovely photo.

Cheers

Carl

Mark, a beautiful photo and one that I would certainly agree stands on its own merits.

I believe each photo is a story and we the photographers are the story tellers. Sometimes the story is clearly expressed by the RAW photo file straight from the camera and other times a little help is needed. The trick is finding the real or best story. I try to achieve this as efficiently as possible but my own limited knowledge and skill make the post-processing more complicated then it should be.

Good post.

Richard – yeah – it certainly helps having blue and yellow as complimentary colors on the color wheel – courtesy Mother Nature.

Tomas – thank you. I won’t claim prevision on every image, but it helped a little with those. I agree the advertising towards photographers gets to be a little too much at times.

Hey Boyd, thanks for the comment and stopping by. Always appreciate your thoughts.

Jack – thanks a lot! I don’t think anyone should feel any guilt using whatever tools they want to.

Ron – thanks a lot. You guys cook up some pretty mean landscape stew up there.
