White Mountain Lupines

I see you put your time to good use while I was getting the truck turned around, Mike. The light in the sky is fantastic and I love the FG with the lupines and ferns. Beautifully done.

Those are some of the biggest lupines I think I've ever seen. This is a really well composed picture. The foreground is well placed and fits well with the background. There's little to really add to improve this. I really like the young lupines in the very foreground. One thing to suggest is to tone down the bright green leaves at the very bottom edge of the frame. Bring them down to the level of the other greens around them. I don't if this would be a positive change but I might try making the blues in the lupines more luminous and then add saturation to make it the same as now. Right now they're about on the same tonal value as the greens and maybe some separation would be pleasing. 

Nice play of flowery prettiness vs cloudy moodiness.  Wonderful colors

Wonderfully composed image.  I love the upside down v shape of the lupine, the v shape of the tree line, and the complementing v in the clouds.  It all works beautifully.  I like Igor's  suggestion on luminosity.  A little dodging might do the trick too.

Lovely imaging, Michael.  I think the somewhat brighter few foreground leaves are fine and the rest of the foreground should be brought up to their level.  The dark greens and flowers themselves are too dark.  

Love those lupines!
Everything looks tack sharp.

Another really sweet image, Michael.  I agree with Jeffrey, in that I would try to bring the luminance of the lupines up almost to level of those fore ferns.  If you did nothing more, it still works very well. I might also tone down or even clone, the very bright highlight top left.

Very nice sky. I also think the lupines could go brighter.

Michael, This looks just wonderful to me. A beautiful scene that you captured so well. Only thing I would do would be to tone down the bright area of sky in the upper left corner as already mentioned. I like the natural feel it has just as is.

Beautiful, Michael. I like this a lot with the contrasting blue and orange colors. Very striking. I''ll just 2d Gary's suggestion re the ULC. 

Amazing sky to go along with an amazing foreground Michael.

Love it Michael. I'm a sucker for beautiful flowers and sky color. I too would work on the foreground and ulc luminance.

This is outstanding, Michael. I think my favorite of the series. Very well composed and the colors are beautiful. Processing looks spot-on to me. Great work!
