Wind Rivers - Deep Lake Sunrise
This was taken on our second morning at Deep Lake. Jack had already headed out for the Cirque the day before, while Scott and I hung back for another sunset and sunrise here.

Could have used some of Todd's clouds :wink:, but no complaints - it was a beautiful morning in every regard!

Rick, nice job of fitting in the reflected peaks. Too bad you didn't have clouds.

Beauty! The Wind Rivers are so photogenic, I'm going to have to make it back there some day.

Very nice Rick. I'm actually getting tired of all the haze associated with the clouds that have been over RMNP this summer. :biggrin:

Sweet! Is this a 4x5 shot?

For a small fee...

Boy, that is one rocky landscape! I love the shot.

Thanks, everyone! :smile:

Darren, Jack - this is a digital pic on the Olympus 8080. I have a 4x5 with a slightly tighter crop taken maybe 5 minutes before this one, but there's just a little less alpenglow on the west ridge of Temple; nice image, but that little extra color in this one really helps a lot.

I think I shot about 25-30 unique comps, using about 40 sheets (a few dupes), plus a couple b&w. I've scanned...um, two... :rolleyes: I'll post a 4x5 next. (....let's see...48 hours between posts...that's should be enough time to wrestle a decent file from the scanner... :rolleyes: )

Isn't it 24 hours on the regional forums? Post away!

I think this is perfectly balanced!

Great shot! Really like the colors and the light.
