This is just a quick scan of Bierstadt from Tuesday night. The scan has a slight color cast but the slide doesn't. Its time for me to calibrate my laptop again.

Great conditions, Jody. Beautiful photo. I don't think getting to this spot is exactly a walk in the park, either. You continue to impress.

Very nice. Great cloud layers!

Great clouds and light Jody. I'm having trouble placing this. Is it from the ridge north from the sawtooth? Either way, a great image and I'm glad you hauled that 67 up there to share it with us.

Did you do the Sawtooth hike from Bierstadt? One of my favorite hikes. Great work Jody.

Incredible clouds. Nice job Jody. As far as the color cast goes it looks a little blue on my monitor in the clouds and the snow but it is nothing too extreme to worry about. :cool:

Really nice, Jody. The clouds rock. I'm not picking up the color cast - looks reasonable to me.

Thanks for the comments and views everyone. I hiked up from the Guanella Pass side, there is no trail to where I went there was a lot of willow bushwacking through upto 16" of mud and marsh. All I can say is thank God for gortex lined hiking boots. Like Brent said I spent the night up on the slopes of Gray Wolf Mountain, around 13,000ft, as soon the sun was close to setting the clouds moved in real fast and I could hardly see more than 100ft in front of me, then the lighting moved in pretty close. So it was a little sketchy for awhile that night being that high above treeline.
