Captured this this morning at RMNP. Do not do alot of landscape, but could not resist this one. Thanks for looking.

And you managed to sneak a couple elk into the frame too.

Well done Dan.

Those are some crazy colors there Dan. Something about this looks a bit over-processed to me.

Suprised there's still this much green.

1st one looks fine to me, considering the gaudy sunrises I saw last week. Thanks for sharing, and not resisting. :) Great shot.

hanks for the comments. I did a new version with less processing. The top of the mountain was pretty red, however.

I like the 2nd one much better too. That's a tough shot in low light with moving critters.

I think the over-processed aspect might've been the look of the aspens in the FG. They looked a little too "shadow/highlight," but still a really excellent shot. And in keeping with your usual, this is a wildlife shot with a nice mountain sunrise included!

Agree with Dave and Todd, and this is a nice shot. I like the way you have positioned the split in the aspens. Also, looks a bit chily

You should shoot more landscapes, Dan. This is excellent. I'm on a laptop, so take this with a grain of salt, but using the mountain as a reference, the first one looks better to me.
