Bowl of Boles
This was a difficult image to capture, especially with my limited focal lenghts. 75mm was a little too wide and 150mm was a little to tight and there was nowhere to really move and reposition the camera. I liked how the rivulet and fallen boles gave the grove of aspens along the South Fork of the Bishop Creek a blowl effect.

Taken on the morning of Oct. 8th, the next morning after the frigid sunset at So. Lake.

Your thoughts appreciated

Hi Youssef,

I loved the composition the first time you posted this on ESS. However, I prefer this opened-up view more than the original one (which was a little too contrasty). This one has a nice airy feel about it.
