I have not posted many images in the forum and thought I would give it a try. I took this image while in Crested Butte earlier this July. I would be interested in your candid feedback on this image.






Thanks for looking!!

Hi Tim,

As far as the image goes, you've got some nice diagonals and overall it's a pretty good composition. The only problem is I can't see any wildflowers. Your image post is pretty small. I would try reposting with 700 pixels on the long side. Hopefully that will let us see more of the flowers in the foreground. Exposure looks pretty good.

Ditto Jack's comment.
What I particularly enjoy is the lack of smog at this altitude and, therefore, the clarity of the mountains and clouds.

I could not find a way to repost the image so I am going to use Text Style. Here is the URL,

OK, this is better...but...What I might suggest for next time is lowering the tripod closer to the ground so the flowers stand out a little more. I realize these are the smaller yellows but to make them an integral part of the image, you have to get a little closer to them, make sense? Other than that, I would say this is a pretty good image.

Thanks Jack and it does make sense. The middle cloud I tried to bring back as much as I could so it was not so blown out. Used ACR and CS4.
