Here's a few more from the fall which I haven't shared on the forum yet. This kind of gold won't cost you $1400 an ounce or even your "last dollar!"

Reflection in one of the Mesa Lakes.

Last, a shot from above the Mesa Lakes during a different sunset.

Absolutely incredible series, that secret spot one is my fav. Thanks for posting those link on color management as well, that stuff is starting to drive me crazy.

Love the Mesa shots! I just moved to GJ this fall and wasn't expecting such a color show up there.

Nice series. I love #'s 2 and 3.
Posted by Kurt Bowman on December 7, 2010 at 8:38 AM
Very, very nice stuff Josh! Love the second one, but think the secret spot shot barely takes it for the top spot in my eyes.

That first mesa shot is NICE!

Great series Joshua. I'm really digging image #2 of the Mesa as my favorite.
The secret spot is very nice, but fall aspens under glowing clouds with a spectacular view of the Book Cliffs takes the prize for me! Awesome shot!

Nice series. I agree on the Secret spot being my favorite.

NIie series, Josh! #2 defintiely has the most potential here, terrific comp--but something seems slightly off to me and im not sure what. Could be the color balance (too purple? warmer?) or maybe the hdr, since the brightness looks too even from fg to bg--either the fg or bg need to be brighter or darker--im not sure which! Id take a good hard look at the RAW and try to diagnose,becuase it probably just needs some minor adjustment, but this is a killer shot and its worth adjusting.

Wow! Those pics are golden! My favorite is your secret spot. Great series!
Posted by John Mumaw on December 7, 2010 at 6:50 PM
Wonderful series! The last three are my favorites.
I was wondering about the odd processing on #2 myself, and thought it was just me 'til I scrolled down and saw Stan's comment. Would love to see a rework of that one.
Makes me wish I was here for the fall colors. Great series.

The comp in #2 is by far my favorite of the bunch. There's something strange going on in the post proccessing though. I see a lot of wonderful tonalities in most of the photo but then I get to the sky.... never seen a sky like that before.
Josh, are you shooting Nikon or Canon?
Posted by Rod Chandler on December 8, 2010 at 10:43 AM
Josh, Number 2 is my favorite among the really nice series.
Posted by Dan Walters on December 8, 2010 at 11:01 AM
Like that reflection image. Very artistic!
Posted by Jack Brauer on December 8, 2010 at 12:25 PM
I really dig the second one... the GJ "desert" formations in the background add a very interesting element.
Posted by Paul DeCesare on December 9, 2010 at 1:00 PM
Oh Stan, get some Visine in your eyes and calibrate that monitor, lol!! No, just bustin'. The second shot is definitely my favorite. You're right, there is some color cast, but my cruddy monitor here at work is making it look amazin'. Besides the grand scene and the perfect comp, the real/surreal of the tones hits that chord. I like it, need that one on my wall.
Outstanding series! I like the shot from the north side of Grand Mesa. I shot from near there this fall myself, but did not have the great skies you caught here.

Your "secret" is my fav.
