Nice classic Sierra fall scene. I might consider burning down the fore and middle ground a bit?

Preston, What a beautiful scene this is, and you certainly captured the wonderful feel of this day. This is one I can just sit back and enjoy for awhile and wish I was there. :toast:

This is a beautiful scene and you did a good job capturing this scene. I love the colors and the color contrast and the depth here in this shot is simply terrific.

Yum, a classic fall mtn scene. I sure do like the color contrast between the yellow trees and the deep blue sky as well as the depth.

A really beautiful image with tremendous depth and color, the converging lines of the valley are great. I think I would make a small crop from the left to the base of the dark buttress.

Great colorful sierra scene, Preston. Excellent colors and view overall.

What really caught my eye was a bit of deja vu. I must have used your tripod holes here for a shot I took here several years ago too. Although, admittedly mine was not near as nice, in fact, too dark to ever get to a level of usage. :cool:

Kinda epic. :biggrin: A real feeling of the peaks looming over the valley here. Very well done!
