Whoa! I don't know if I have ever seen so many lupine clustered that tightly together. Amazing.

Robert,

That is one intense field of Lupine! I was thinking that you should clone out the sailboat and I was ready to move this to M&N, but wait a sec, this isn't ES&S! :wink:

But even judging from the sailboat, it looks like you have pretty good depth of field, so it looks to me like the lupine themselves in midground are suffering from jpg compression. Otherwise, this is quite a display of summer flowers around Lake Tahoe.

WOW, what an amazing amount of lupine. Although compression factor kicking here, the stems look like their fairly steady, which in itself is hard to believe with the choppy water in the BG. Very nice one, Robert. I'm sure the print will be nice too, but the amount of detail at this size is showing up in the compressed jpeg.

Excellent find Robert! It's great to see them endlessly next the lake.

Robert,
What a fantastic Lupine image. I've got to believe the Tahoe Chamber of Commerce would pay for this shot. Nicely done. Best Regards.
