Jefferson Lupines...
I will post a full story on my lupine trips the past few days...but for now, here's a shot from the Israel River, I thought it a fun comp.

Hope everyone Lupining has a good weekend this weekend...they should be peak!

Here's a link to a couple of the many shots, both from Sugar Hill and Jefferson:

Jim,
Looked at you shots on the website and this one. . . I like these shots. Sometimes we get a bit to wound up on getting the close up shot of a flower and miss the medium or wide environment shot which many times is a beautiful shot! I particularly like the verticle of the river with the Lupines on the left bank of the river, and I like the one above as you have the flowers, the river, and the blurred water all in a pleasing comp. Great stuff!

Jim,
I checked out your other shots and this one would be my least favorite. I think what bothers me about this one is the two water areas. I find my eye bounces from one stream to the other and kind of skips over the lupines. I'd like it better if there was only one part with water. :smile:

Jim,
This is beautiful! I think the two sections of water are wonderful and the four layers just keep my eye going all around the image. I especially like the exposure of the foreground water.
