This is from the old precambrian film days. It is one that I've liked, but had some obvious areas that were blocked up in my home scans. I noticed a great winter shot Morris took from a similar vantage point on Stevens Gulch and it was a little inspiration. So a couple of week ago I sent the slide off to Danny Burk (recommended scanning service) for a drum scan. It was only partially helpful in recovering some shadow details.
An aside note, the old post office in Ft. Collins, which is now run as the Ft. Collins Museum of Contemporary Art, has an exhibit of 48 Ansel Adams "Masterwork" prints on display through Mar. 15. Worth the time if you're in the area.

The flowing stream creates a beautiful mountain scene and balances the clouds nicely. Detail appears quite acceptable, after all those dark spruce should look dark based on where the majority of the light is coming from. Good job.

Great stuff Roger, very pleasing to the eye.

This is just a fine comp, Roger. I agree that there is enough detail in the shadows here, too. I love this place, and I am amazed you found such a good clean comp with all of the left over stuff from the mining.

Very nice Roger..I agree with the others about shadow detail.
