Pika and Wildflowers

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted April 15, 2010160 views6 comments

This is a photo I took last summer near Beartooth Pass in Wyoming.
There was a spring blizzard here the last 2 days, and I played with some filters, including Topaz Clean. The pika was busy storing hay for the winter, and the wildflowers were blooming.

Looks like an interesting image, but I don't care for the filter treatment.

Like this a lot!
It's fun to play with filters, and see what you come up with!
I really like the textures on the pica, but would maybe turn it down a bit on the rock, as it competes a little.
Great colors and pose too !

Dan I love the effect you art getting on the Pika. I think it would be cool just to have the effect on him and maybe have the BG stay just painterly. Just a thought. Nice image.

I really like this, especially with the flowers. Great range of colors. I would tone down the background filtering a bit as well.

Gorgeous! The texture on the pika is great and the flowers add so much.

I like the critter Dan but I think I like the rocks just as much. Neat image.
