Summit County Wildflowers

Decided to stay around home this year rather than heading to the San Juans for wildflowers. I thought the wildflower season this year was quite good. Sunset off the Shrine Pass trail

#2 Shrine pass trail- variety of wildflowers

# 3 Loveland Pass reflection at sunrise

# 4 Arkansas River Headwaters
Could have used some cloud cover that was nonexistent this day

Nice set of pics - beautiful colors in #2.

Hi Bob,

Good set of images here. I like #1 and #2 the best. When were these Shrine Pass shots taken?

#1 is my fav. I love how the different shades of similar colors complement each other, especially the magenta and green.

Looks like some really good colors up there. Great shots Bob.

Mike- shrine pass shots were from the last few days- flowers are at peak right now!

#1 is really nice. The transition on the top edge of the mountains is a bit dark, but that is a fantastic group of flowers.

#2 is a little warm for my tastes, but its structured and lit well.

Its a good set throughout.

Mel-

#1 is my favorite of what is a good set overall.
Thanks for posting these...I'm taking a day off next week to shoot some wildlfowers, but hadn't decided where to go. Looks like the Vail area is it for me.

Thanks for the info Bob! I haven't shot anything in months due to a variety of issues, but I'm finally able to get back to it. Can't wait to get out and do some shootin!!!

nice set of shots Bob...I really like the colors in the first one best! I aslo like the reflection in image #3.

Very pretty, Bob--great flowers! Noone has mentioned it, so maybe its this monitor, but seems a bit contrasty and soft to me--would like to see them with a bit more clarity (especially 1&2--3 looks fine, and 4 looks like contrasty light to begin with)

That first shot is great, although I would brighten up the mid-ground area a little. The flowers are stunning.
