A couple from Crested Butte
Columbines on Ohio Pass.

I need help identifying this small flower. Found on Kebler Pass.

Canon 5D Mark II & 24-70/2.8L with 12mm extension tube.

Wow, I love those columbines Adam, good composition and light! Great detail in the 2nd shot as well.

Closest match I see in my book for the white flower is a "Richardson's Geranium", but I am no flower expert either so hopefully someone with more knowledge will know..
Both of these shots are really nice Adam, but the white flower I really like!.

Great images. Really like the DOF on #1.

Both nice, Adam, but #2 belongs in a gallery for sure. I thought Geranium for the flower too, but the leaves are not Geranium although I imagine they're not from the same plant.

Hi Paul, you are correct, they are not from the same plant.

wow, Adam, that 2nd one is killer.. awesome! :toast:
Posted by Todd Caudle on July 8, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Nice stuff, Adam! That flower is wild geranium.

I really like both, each has a different style and both are effective.

Dripping with color and both very well composed. Sweet!
Posted by Guy Schmickle on July 8, 2009 at 4:04 PM
Both are sweet, but that second one is definitely my favorite. Well done.
Posted by Stan Rose on July 8, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Pretty stuff, i agree with Guy's remarks!

I really like the compsotion and the glorious scenery of #1. Well seen & captured!
And #2 is one for the books....fine art, IMO.

Wonderful comps, light, and color! Great job.
Posted by Jeff Hackett on July 8, 2009 at 8:20 PM
I like #1 the best. I usually prefer a little environment included as in #1. The second is still excellent though.

Perfection!
Posted by Chris Martin on July 9, 2009 at 6:59 AM
Great shots, both of them!
Posted by Joshua Hardin on July 9, 2009 at 9:57 AM
I also like both. Nicely done!
Posted by Kurt Bowman on July 9, 2009 at 10:39 AM
Very nice Adam! I like both for different reasons, but 2 takes the cake!
Posted by Jack Brauer on July 9, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Both are great, but #2 really got me. So nice!
