Wasatch Reflections
I hiked up into the Wasatch Mts. tuesday evening and had a great experience with the thunder, peak color, and a few small lakes. The hike down in the dark was interesting, especially when the batteries to my headlamp went dead... luckily I listened to my instict before the hike and bought an extra set.

#1 Superior Peak and Lake Blanche

C&C Welcome and thanks for looking.

Very purty, Jeff. I like #3 the best. I think you could burn the yellow just a tad in #1 and it will be awesome.

Wow, nice stuff, Jeff! These are all great, but #2 is my favorite.

All are excellent but I'm partial to "Last Light on Sundial". One of these days I really need to do some exploring in the Wasatch.

Great stuff. I agree that #3 is the strongest from the series.

Great images! Love the light and reflection in the first image.

The yellows in #1 seem a little to much. The other three are awesome.

Fantastic series of images, Jeff. You definitely caught some remarkable light, and created some great comps to make the thmost of it!

Regarding C&C... I agree that the yellows in #1 are a scoche hot. The reflections in the others feel a bit cooler than their corresponding subjects; not a biggie and may be due to the water, but it caught my eye...

Nice work!
