Sangres this morning

Here's a shot from this morning looking towards the Sangre de Cristos. The dominant peak in the center is Rito Alto Peak (13,794'), and the smaller one on the left is 13,350' Hermit Peak. That would make the smooth saddle just to the right of Hermit Peak one of my favorite places in Colorado, 13,000' Hermit Pass.

I cropped some of the trees along the bottom and a little sky off the top, resulting in the panoramic aspect ratio.

Nice pan Todd. I like the atmospheric conditions you captured here. Years ago I did a backpacking trip into the Sangres. I think it was up around Fluted Peak. A beautiful place indeed but the lakes were littered with garbage. Has that been cleaned up a bit?

Nice composition, and the pano. crop really does this justice.

Exellent light, and the clouds above and below are great. I also like the pano crop a lot. I even like the mound on the right peeking through the fog. Love the shot!

Great shot. Like the cropped effect.

This is real nice! makes a great pano. Im surprised there isnt any snow on the trees, guess it might have been breezier up there. Ill post my Gods series tomorrow.

Holy cow it looks like there's a lot of snow on them there mountains. The pano crop works well and I love how the clouds/fog are lying low in the valley and obscuring the peaks. Nice layers.

BTW Todd, finally took your advice and joined NAPP. Signed up for 2 years.

Ok but I prefered you stuff from the other week.

Really nice, Todd. I like the comp and the crop.

Some Where Over the Mountains..Skies Are Blue..........funny how that song just came to mind. Really nice.

Beautiful!~ Really like the clouds hanging over the mountains.

I like the mood, clouds, pano crop, and symmetry of the mountains; but feel like the mountain on the right should be cropped out or totally included.

Very nice, great Caudle-clouds and the subtleness of the the low tree covered hill with clouds around it on the left, half way in really adds depth to this.
