Mt. Adams from Windy Ridge
Hi all,

I'm finally getting a chance to go through my pictures from a great summer in the PNW. It was 60 when we left Packwood and 107 when we arrived in Phoenix. At least I missed the 118 degree day. It's now monsoon season and the billowing thunderheads would add great drama to just about any foreground. If you ever have a chance to photograph AZ in August/early September don't miss it. It's hot and humid, but the cloud formations are impressive.

This is a picture from early July. It is a blend. I'd appreciate any comments.

Thanks!

JT

It is pretty soft. My eye can't get past that. After that, a bit more contrast boost and it would be pretty good.

Thanks, Rick. I didn't do any sharpening. I just wanted to see if the image had any potential for more work. I don't think I'll be able to go very big with this one because it was ISO 400, cropped and taken on a windy Windy Ridge.

I'll see if it gets any better.
