#710-Clash of Seasons 2

I'm going to upload a separate smaller photo and see if that helps. I haven't posted since all these changes have been made to the forums so it's all new to me again.

This is another shot from my epic weekend in October 2013 at Steamboat.  This one was taken before my last post, in a different location.  I can't remember exactly where it was, but somewhere on the eastern side of the Flat Tops Wilderness area, near the Oak Creek area.  While we were at this spot, the sun was playing peek a boo but never really fully came out until later.

The colors have held up much better here, Angela, with the larger version showing very similarly to the 720 px version while includting much better detail and presence.  This is another excellent view, with a great mix of Aspens and snowy evergreens.  The meadow in the middle adds a fine sense of depth.

Angela, I like the color in this image much better than your first.  The S curve works well.

I think I like this compositon even better than your previous post, Angela.  The lines of aspens really work here.

This image has tighter comp and more pop than the first one you posted.  Steamboat is beautiful.  But I haven't been back in 40 years.

Oh Wow!  This comp is wonderful, and all the colors, including the sky and snow, just make everything pop.  I think the "peek a boo" Sun helped on this one.  Amazing scene.
