Tree Island
I've been trying to take advantage of the snowy weather and shoot one of my favorite subjects. The full size image is actually a 12 image mosaic from a 5D. Thanks for any comments.

Man, would I love to see the large print of this. Fabulous shot. Is this along Hwy 93 near Boulder?

12 images from a 5D?? That's gotta be a seriously large file, with serious detail! I really like the stark simplicity of this image!

Very nice work here.

Thanks all! Morris, this was taken just outside Longmont. Bill, yes, I scouted this. I found the site several years ago. Conditions (including time off) were finally right to make this work.
