Paint Brush from Shrine Pass Area
From a trip to Summit County a couple of weeks ago. Hiked back in a mile or so off the road. This shot was taken the morning after a Thursday of rain showers. The flowers were at their best, but to late for columbine.

Comments please.

D200
f/2.8 70-200@175mm
f/11.0 1/20
Tripod

Processed: LR 2.4, CS4 w/ current Nik filters

Thanks for looking.

The color on the paintbrush is great and they are well-composed in the frame. The two things that detract are the past-prime fleabane and the dark area on the LH side. This is one of those situations where less DOF and more distance from the BG would help out the pretty paintbrush.

I agree with Dave, Paint Brush is nice but the dark middle background is too distracting for me.

Great color in this shot, Dave.
