Solstice at Sprague Lake

Fathers day was beautiful at Sprague lake, only problem was the wind! For some reason all of my pictures from earlier in the morning with the really good alpenglow are slightly blurred. Here is a 7 stitch pano that was taken probably 10 to 20 minutes after sunrise. C&C is always welcome.

While I was there I was told about some wild turkey's up the road so I couldn't resist.

I don't know the name of this river, I couldn't find it. It is the river that you cross on Bear Lake Road right before you get to Moraine Park. It was still early enough that I had some shade to attempt to make this much water smooth.

Isn't that River the Big T? I love the first Image completely! The second is a Turkey! LOL All good, but #1 is my fave!

I thought it was the Big T, I know it eventually becomes the Big T after a couple forks. Here is one more; a rock texture that I liked up by the Alluvial fan. It has been interesting trying to find textures to make abstract photos from. I personally like the square crop on this one.

These are nice, Jim. I'd be inclined to do away with the beetle-killed trees in the Sprague Lake shot. I know it's a natural occurrence, but visually speaking, they stand out, and not in a good way. I really like the waterfall pic, but the last one doesn't do it for me.

The last one is not too sharp in this format and appears very soft in the bottom right. I think you could bring up the brightness of the water a bunch in #3 The other two look great just as they are (though I can understand Todd's point about the pines too).

Mel-

I really like #s 1 and 3. Isn't wind always a pain?!
