RMNP Moraine Park Sunrise
I've got to post one more summer image before the forum becomes flooded with fall colors! This was taken in late July. Comments welcome.

Nikon D300, Sigma 17-35mm Lens, ISO 100 (equivalent), cloned out a few wilted flowers in PS.

That is Sweet! Nice light and a gorgeous glow. Maybe a little less sky? Scroll it down and watch how your eye is kept on both of your subjects a little more.

Nice shot! The river leads the eye through the scene perfectly and that's some real nice light on the mountains.

One of the classic RMNP scenes, I like this one with the pink flowers in the foreground!. Nicely handled exposure, I think a crop of the sky as Morris suggested would be a benefit!.

Cool shot! Love the color on the water and how it leads the eye.

Nice comp and light! The rock in the river provides a nice anchor to balance the scene. I agree with the sky crop idea.

Sweet! I like this one, Josh!

Very nice, like the comp and the light here. Another vote to crop some sky..

You did well Joshua, it isn't always to get great shots in the park.

Nice capture. I was hoping to get down into that area when I was up there about 10 days ago but didn't have the best conditions that morning.

I will also vote to crop in the sky just a tad.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

Very nice Joshua! Great balance of light! Gonna go with the others on the sky crop too!

I echo what Morris suggested. I love the contrast of orange/green.
