I got thwarted for the 4th time in my plans to shoot Dream at sunrise (clear skies--again ) so i took Erik's advice and hiked up Wild Basin to Ouzel Falls (which were 2/3 frozen, BTW). Here's a series--let me know which if any work for you (one more at ESS)

Great series Stan. Love the blues here.
#1 is my favorite, but #3 is an interesting vortex for the eyes!

2 and 3 are my choices Stan, all nice and blue. Feels cold.
Posted by Nick Moore on November 30, 2009 at 1:37 PM
I like #3 & #7, I particularly like the blue hue to them all!.
Posted by Don Grall on November 30, 2009 at 1:47 PM
I'm feeling the blues! Actually, I like the blue tint but think I would lessen it about 30% to get closer to the real color but with still an obvious blue feel. My favorites are #2 and #6
How were the trails - did you need snowshoes at all?

Excellent Stan! I'm a #3 and #7 guy myself. Glad you made the hike. I think the blue tint you choose works really well with these.

#2 is my favorite. Love the blue.
Posted by John Mumaw on November 30, 2009 at 3:46 PM
I'm a #1, #6 & #7 guy.
A very creative series all in all. Numero Quatro seems out of place in the series, though.
How long was the hike? Did you need skis or snowshoes?

As others, love the blue and #2 is my favorite.
Posted by D J Kuklinski on November 30, 2009 at 7:05 PM
I like them all!
Posted by Doug Andrews on November 30, 2009 at 8:44 PM
All of them are nice but #3 is my favorite.
Posted by Dean Sauskojus on November 30, 2009 at 11:21 PM
I like the 3rd. It contains some nice texture and a little added color. What was you shutter speed on that one? As always Stan, nice work.

Very cool stuff, Stan. I really like 1 and 3, but they're all good.
Posted by Dan Walters on December 1, 2009 at 5:40 AM
Great images! Love the blue color and the detail in the ice. The rushing water in #6 really adds to the image.
Posted by Rick Dunn on December 1, 2009 at 5:44 AM
Cool series, Stan. #2 and 6 stand out for me, though the whole collection - minus #4 perhaps - would make for an excellent abstract series.
Posted by Jody Grigg on December 1, 2009 at 8:28 AM
#3 and #5 are my favorites.
Posted by Morris McClung on December 1, 2009 at 12:20 PM
3 is 1 and 1 is 2, oh well, you get those are the 1's I like.
Posted by Stan Rose on December 1, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Thanks a lot, guys!
I didnt need snowshoes, there was little snow on the trail and it was packed down (as was the trail to Dream/Emerald). The hike to Ouzel was 3.7 miles one way.
Its interesting that #3 got the most votes, i thought it might be a bit too busy. Its also the only one i went with a warmer white balance (shade) rather than AWB.
I purposely threw #4 in there to mess with you Actually, it looks completely different at full scale--all sorts of detail and texture, but admittedly the jpeg looks pretty mundane. Thanks!

Great series...#s 3 + 7 do it for me.
