Another image from Glacier Nat. Park. The shore of Lake St. Mary has all kinds of colorful rocks. As I was waiting for light to shoot larger scenes,I started playing around shooting the colors and shapes. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Yes, Glacier's combination of red and green rocks is pretty neat. This is very well composed with your choice of colors and shapes in the center keeping my eyes from wandering.

No new ground being broken here Richard, but that's okay. Beautiful arrangement of diverse colors, shapes, and textures. Maybe a bit more added contrast would bring those elements out even more. Very visually engaging. I like it.

Nice work on this close up of shore rocks. I like the arrangement of rocks varied by color and shape. I especially like your placement of the longer, thinner rock center right. I enjoyed looking, Richard.

A feast for the eyes, Richard. Looks like your wait for light paid off. Like the others, I'm enjoying the colors and shapes in this. Yes, it has been done before, but it's still an enjoyable effort and no two are alike.

This is a nice, intimate stone scape. I like the color and the composition. I think the high values could be brought be brought up a bit. There are lots on nice shapes and subtle patterns to look at.

I can just hear the sound of them crunching as I walk on by! Nice shot.

Just right in every way. The colors are amazing, esp for being subtle and muted.
