RMNP - Lake Sunrise
Hey guys, here's my contribution from this morning's jaunt.
I'm really having trouble with the PP work - it just looks too pink (even though this is how I remember it).

Cheers,
Alex

Hey, if its pink, its pink! You can entitle it "pretty in __" :biggrin:

Alex,

Good meeting you up there. Did you see the bighorn sheep along the road on your way back?

I recall it being a very pink morning as well for those 5 to 10 minutes we had strong color. The blue for the sky looks good, but I could stand a little more saturation. I don't think it is your PP work.

Maybe it's your camera? I could trade you for my xti. :wink:

Darn, missed those sheep.

I played with the blue a while to try and bring it into line with what I thought I had seen but it started getting flaky after too much fussing (and I needed to walk the dogs).

Thanks for the offer of a trade. I just keep limping along for now. :wink:

Aleksei,
Nice shot, and it is pretty much what I remember it being like this morning. Really enjoyed shooting with and talking with you and Steven. You really did pick a nice spot with that water in the foreground. I will try to post tomorrow. Thanks again for joining us.

Yep, it's pink alright! But, hey, it is what it is. I like this image, The blue sky in the distance is a nice contrast to the tone in the rest of the shot
