This one isn't a multi-image stitch, it's just a crop from a single frame. When I headed this way a few weekends ago during a storm, I miscalculated my departure time and barely made it here in time for first light. I kinda had to take what I could get, and what I got was a fairly featureless grassy meadow for a lead-in. Hence, the crop job.
A slightly larger version is HERE. I didn't make this one another mondo pano because I think it looks better as one single view rather than having to pan back and forth across a 3000-pixels-wide version.
You're at it again with the clouds. Maybe you should hold a workshop and those of us who come will be guaranteed great clouds and fog. I like this a lot, Todd. Stan makes a good point about the blue.
Looks really good. Feels cool, but the soft, warm light in the clouds help make this an inviting image. A good feeling of depth going down the ridge line as each layer stands out. I wouldn't change it. But if the shadows on the left side are bothersome to others and you agree maybe a crop to eliminate the first peak?
Wow, this is cool! I don't mind the cool blue coupled with the hint of pink. I like the little hints of scale in this - cattle, fence, tiny trees in the snow.
Nothing ho-hum about this. That's light I'd certainly welcome any day. Yea, maybe a little blue as Stan said, but I don't think you're too far off as far as color balance goes.

And its a really nice shot that I wouldn't mind having in my catalog.

I find that stretch of the Sangres tough to photograph, but you've done it very well here. Love the fence, cloud and lighting.
