Crestoned
Here's a few from this morning. Didn't really get any decent first light, but things got good around 10am, roughly when all these were taken.

#1: Crestone Needle and Crestone Peak. Man, those are some badass mountains!

#2: UN13369 and Tijeras Peak. This is looking right over Music Pass. Here's a link to a 1000x2085-pixel version:

#3: Some fog had reformed closer to Westcliffe, which added some depth and interest to the already swirling/forming clouds on the peaks.

That's all for now.

Oh, MOMMY! That first shot is screaming, "Print me HUGE!" :eek: The second is close behind. Very crisp, clean shots. Excellent work, TC.

Okay, one more. One of the things I like about shooting a 21.1MP camera is the ability to use just a portion of the image. This is a slice of the image directly above, taken from the ULC.

Looks like you are in a "blue" mood. :biggrin:
I really like the pano.

Wow, that first one almost doesn't look like CO. The Crestones certainly are incredible. Nice work!

Love all that purty white fresh snow. Well done. :toast:

Nice, dude! All are nice but the first one is a killer mountain portrait. Love it.

Nice! Sunshine and fresh snow sure can have appeal. The second is my favorite of the bunch. I like the expansiveness and the clouds. Bad-ass mountains indeed!

Sweet shots and that crop is really interesting........funny how those clouds just happened by. :confused:

Caudle-rific!

I DID inhale and now I'm totally Crestoned! I gotta scroll back up and take another hit. Yep, just as sweet the second time around.

Cloudman strikes again! Or is it "Stonedman"? :biggrin: Excellent!

I love that first one! Great series of some fantastic conditions.

Great stuff, Todd, but where's the sunrise? :wink:
I love the third one especially, very cool mix of the peaks, fog, and trees. I struggled to find trees :rolleyes:
