Indian Peaks Wilderness - Colorado

Last weekend I decided to head up to the Brainard Lakes area of the Indian Peaks Wilderness in hopes of photographing sunrise and seeing the moose that had been spotted up there. Well, I didn't see any moose (DANG!!), but I was treated to a lovely sunrise and a little mist on the lake. There were still quite a few wildflowers up there. Thanks for looking.

Nikon D200, 28-105mm lens @ 28mm, 3-stop GND, LR3

Really nice, Doug. Just goes to show you don't need to have one tripod leg in the lake to get a good reflection shot.

Dont feel bad--i didnt see the moose (meese) either! :smile:
Very pretty shot, nice! Hope you got some of the flowers too.

I agree, nice! I like the burnt orange coloring. At least it looks burnt orange to me. :biggrin:

Burnt orange is a good color, for sure.
Hookem.

Very nice Doug, I like this composition pulled back from the lake shore. I was up there yesterday, looks like you had less wind, it was blowing a gale this weekend!.

Seeing a lot of Long Lake images lately... which is fine by me. Very nice and I like the trees in the foreground.

What a gorgeous morning and sweet light. I like your choice of a pano presentation.

Perfect, and I also like the panorama format.
Also really like all the diagonal lines present.
