WC458 Medano Burn Area

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted November 19, 201081 views5 comments

This area was part of a forest fire along Medano Creek (just east of Great Sand Dunes NP, Colorado) this past June. I went up in early October to shoot fall colors, it was amazing to see this on one side of the forest road and the other side in peak fall colors. No post-processing done other than sharpening and resizing.

I like the way the trees in the FG stand out from those in the BG. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting--some nice contrasting lines here! As much as i hate burned out forest--this has me considering a winter trip up there--might be interesting in the snow...

Cool. I do wish that one downed tree on the right was pointing the same way as all the shadows!
