The precursor to this hike was my fifth bear sighting during this still-young-hiking season. This was a great way to absorb the transient- northwest sunshine.
Exposure handled with a sigma 10-20mm and a light grad filter. Thanks.
Beautiful Trevor. I hiked into Lake Chiwaukum, Lake Julius and Larch Lake last Fall. It was the best Hike I ever did...although I haven't done that many. If you ever get a chance to hike through Ewing Basin during Fall, I highly suggest it. It's amazing. This shot seems really compressed, but it's probably just the PNNW hosting or something. I love the little leaves coming up out of the water.
Beautiful and at the same time, I'm not sure about how much the FG logs help this shot.... I'd rather just see the water and background hills filling the frame. Sweet colors
I love everything but the fg and how much of the frame it occupies. Think it looks great with about 3" off the bottom... It's then I get the feeling of tranquility and transient light. I hope you show more images from this hike. It looks wonderful up there. Wildflowers anywhere?
Fantastic level of details. I am really impressed by the technical quality of this image.
I assume that Trevor wanted to build a composition where the logs point to the beautiful sunlit mountain in the background. If I do a mental experiment and cut the bottom part to the lake level, then the image becomes very standard and stereotypical. It becomes dull - like 99.99999% of exactly the same images on the net. It is the bottom that makes it different from the others. Maybe I would cut one inch from the logs, but definitely the logs should stay in my opinion.
Just my honest opinion....
