Sprague Lake
One from Sprague Lake back in June. A pretty windy day, but ended up not being to bad of a cloud day.

Brian, I like the composition and color. I was wondering what lens you used because it appears that the trees tilt outward from the center of the frame.

Nice shot. Really like the clouds coming over the mountains and the nice colors. I like the vegetation in the foreground as well.

Nice color and light.

It's a pretty scene, Brian. You need to fix the distortion (see the trees) and level the horizon though.

Thanks for the comments, I will see if I can fix those. I was using the Nikon 14-24 lens. As far as the level horizon, I was using a bubble level, but I will check that as well.

It does look tilted, pretty scene though!

Was this taken Father's Day? I was up there and have several very similar pictures. The picture does appear to have a bit of tilt to it, sometimes I think those bubble levels lie.

Great luck with the clouds, if only it hadn't been windy.
