Thanks anyway
My post of my last trip to the Flatirons mentioned how grateful I was for the gifts of great light and color. This was a repeat of more beautiful light and color, but just not where I had planned. The color was everywhere but where I had set up my comp with the Flatirons, so I tried to make do with where it was best from where I was. Still another glorious morning to be out.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking,

Morris

And a later shot.

Great shots Morris. I really like the first three. The 2nd one might need a little CCW shift. Maybe it's just the slope of the hill.

All are good but number 3 is a KILLER shot!!!

All great stuff, but #3 is INCREDIBLE!

#3 is definitely a keeper. A pastel delight!
I feel your pain, Morris. It makes those times when the best sky coincides with the best composition that much more special.

That's one beautiful sunrise!
These don't compare with the results of your previous excursion (that's a high bar you set for yourself!), but it all comes together perfectly with #3. If I could come away with one shot that good, I'd be thrilled!

#3 is a beauty Morris, but the whole series is pretty darn nice!. All this shooting on my doorstep gives me motive to get down there for a sunrise :wink:

Thanks, guys.
Bill, you are absolutely right. It is special for all of us when all the elements do come together.
Nick, give me a heads up if you plan to go there and I will try to meet you. Maybe you can show me some great comps.

Amazing skies, presented nicely with a velvia look. I agree ... you really nailed it with #3.

Really like the color in the clouds in the third image.
Posted by Lynn Scott on March 2, 2010 at 2:10 AM
I too like the third image! Great shot!

Another morning that paid off for you, Morris. Nice work. These have a Velvia look, which I really like.

Nice work Morris...another shout out for number 3!
Posted by Art Escobado on March 2, 2010 at 8:07 PM
#3 looks spectacular!
