Owl Creek Fall
This is the first of my Owl Creek shots, from the same Saturday as Darren's, that I've processed and printed. I think it's where I want it but I'm open to suggestions.

Ridgeline between West and Middle fork of the Cimmaron River.
Canon 20D, Tamron 28-75m at 75mm, 1/50 @ f9.0

The contrast looks pretty hard and it looks like it lost a lot of detail in the translation. Plus, that tree looks rather sickly, not much you can do about that. But it's a very unique perspective.

I agree the contrast looks a little harsh in this post. I had to go with a higher compression too. It's better in the print but I'll have to take another look. The tree was in it's gangly stage between green and yellow with some brown. Finding bright yellows on the ease side of the pass was tough that weekend. Getting ANY blue sky that day was a big deal. The low overcast had an interesting mood but I tried to get a shot anytime I could see the sky.

Thanks for the comments!
