Wildflowers, Table Mountain
Last week I made my first trip ever to Table
Mountain near Sonora. It was a cloudy day
and a little windy. I'm posting a series of
three images to see which you prefer and why.
The first one I warmed the colors in post
processing moreso than in the subsequent two.
I believe that the colors in pix 2 and 3 depict
a more realistic color and lighting situation
for the time that I was there.

As always your comments/critiques are welcome
and appreciated.

Canon 10D
Polarizer
Tamron Zoom 28-300 Lens

Robert, number two works best for me as is. But, I might also try a crop slightly from the top, and or left, a bit to take out the ULHC shadowed area. I think that will really keep the viewing concentration directly on the main subject and not wonder up there. Great contrasting colors overall. :cool:

Love the collection of colors and distribution of rocks captured here. I'm partial to the second for those aforementioned reasons. Nice work!
