Nice display of wildflowers. I think I would crop from the top to just above the last central clump of lupine in order to minimize the bare area in the URC.

Beautiful scene, very serene.

Beautiful arrangement of wildflowers Marc, I hope your backpacking workshop went well. I'm headed up there in the morning for a 4 day backpacking trip myself, I've never been up there so I'm really excited. My mom is meeting me up there in a few days, should be a good time.

Very beautiful, Mark. A nice contrast with you explosive, "WOW" photographs. I love your work.

This is really beautiful, Marc. Looks like perfect timing and I hope this shows promise for next week in Rainier Nat'l park (I'm there Sat/Sun). Cropping off the top makes the image better, imo. You lose some of the center clump of lupines but a cohesive ground floor is stronger than the small bare spot.

Repost with less contrast, slight color adjustment and background work.

Nice array of colors, Marc. Well seen and captured...

The difference from the first is subtle, but improved. I tried similar comps up there, but they didn't come out quite as nice as this. I think the light falloff in the corners works really well for this picture.

I appreciate the subtlety that has been embodied within your recent work. This is chalked with simple beauty. I'm with the crowd that wants to see the top cropped off.

The WA is what makes this. Almost like they are ready to explode outward. Not a kick ass shot...but it is pretty.

I pretty much agree with what Rick said.

Great shot Marc, I think you have done an excellent job of capturing the wild flowers, they are tough...
