Nice stuff, Paul. I'm lovin' the Columbines. What time did you have to start this hike?

Thanks, Bill and Paul. We started the hike at 3:30am from Glacier Gorge Trailhead, and were slowed somewhat by snow (was surprised at how much was still there!). Probably should have started at least 15-30 min earlier; I'm sure Erik and Jack could have slept in a lot longer :biggrin:

Nice images! Love the detail and color in the columbine images.

Paul, What a great collection. I love them all. I especially love the Timberline Falls shot. I like how you composed the flowers and rocks to lead up to the waterfalls. Very nice!

Nice, Paul! Your columbine shot here looks a bit overexpose, id like to see some texture in the white. I like them better in your landscape comps you linked.

Thanks, Stan, I agree (actually the exposure in the RAW file is fine, I just boosted it too much for the web).
