I've been processing like a madman in my limited free time the past couple of weeks. It's been an incredible chore processing a nice backlog of photos, but seriously learning Lightroom has been a huge plus (what an amazing program). Anyway, I thought I'd share the fruit of my labor - about 50 of my favorite images from a handful of summer and fall trips.
Fantastic batch of images Jesse! Always love seeing your new stuff!

Beautiful work Jesse! Well worth the wait. There's too many that I really like to name them all. The Kebler Pass photos are all really strong and the wildflower ones are just incredible. Great stuff!

I firmly and proudly stand by my past statement that you are one of the best nature photographers walking the Earth. That is some mighty humbling work, my friend.

Great stuff, Jesse. Going through your gallery makes we want to quit my job and go travelling.
"Last light before a summer thunderstorm, Uncompahgre Wilderness" is amazing.

Some great work, Jesse, thanks for posting. I especially like your more intimate photos, and I also agree about Lightroom

Frosted Autumn is beautiful beyond words, Jesse. Thanks for sharing both collections.

Muy bien! I really like the pattern shots from the fall and the big landscapes from the summer. It nice to see such spectacular shots of places I'll probably never make it to.

Excellent work, Jesse. Especially liked the grand views around the Kebler area from your high perches. They were definitely worth whatever amount of hiking it took to achieve those vantage points.

Impressive galleries to say the least. You continue to set a high standard of photography postings around here. Thanks for sharing the new links.

Humbling, Awesome collection, Jesse! I really like "Seivers and Fog" and "Twin Peaks Autumn". Hope your winter is just as productive!

Well, it's going to be very difficult for me to come up with a new word to describe it all, so I am just going to say that it is an awesome display of images. Truly inspiring thanks.

You are an artist Jesse!!!

Great images! I really like the Emerald Wave image. Very abstract.
Posted by Rick Dunn on December 11, 2007 at 10:06 AM
Extraordinary work, Jesse! The Hermit Pass images and the Three Apostles image are standouts to me, but the whole body of work is very compelling. Your compositional skills are something else....

Not much I can add to all the glowing comments other than they were very well deserved. Beautiful work, Jesse. I've long been a fan of your work.

Thank you for the incredible feedback everyone. Seriously. I'm glad you all enjoyed the images.
