These wildflowers are everywhere on the south side of Long Lake in Colorado in the summer. I can't wait!

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris: Flag on the play!! :mad: 15 yards for reminding me how much I love that place and another 15 yards for making the miserable weather we're having here look even worse. Other than that the shot is spectacular and typifies Colorado in the spring. Well seen and captured. >=))>

Morris, I must say I think this is one of your best. You somehow managed to take a rather chaotic field of blooms and turn it into a feast for the eyes. Your composition is outstanding!! I really like the DOF you used. Great colors as well. Definitely makes me long for warmer times. Beautiful, beautiful image :toast:

Boy, have we got a case of Spring Fever going on in this forum! :biggrin: Sigh... This is wonderful, Morris; thanks for the treat!

Bill: you're hysterical! Find that man some flowers, QUICK, before he has a complete meltdown!

Beautiful shot Morris. I'd love to see the detail in this when it's printed large. Makes me look forward to Pawnee Buttes this Spring.

Very good wildflower image, with the diagonal marked by a line of pink flowers... Very intriguing picture.
