Beautiful scene. In the large version, the repeating patches of blue are quite evident and add a nice sense of depth.

BLUE! What a beautiful layers of colors the flowers, grasses, trees and sky make. Must have been a fantastic trip.
What time of day was this? I don't know if it's the effect of the grad or not, but the lighting is so even and "cool" (on my monitor) that this looks kind of like it was shot at night.

Gorgeous sea of purple here Bob. Nice layers of color in the large version giving this lots of depth. Very nice.

Good panorama. Might be a little too cool and dark. I'd go with a little brightening.

Beautiful scene, and well captured, Bob. I like pano crop emphasizing the "sea" of colors and layers.

Bob, Totally enjoyed looking at your large version! Very nice!...I like the placement of the Tamarac tree (I think) in this scene. Impressive view! :smile:
