Zion in Spring
After the Moab fling Rod Chandler and I went on to Zion to see what spring at Zion looks like. Normally have been there in November without a cloud in the sky. We had rain clouds passing thru which made for some interesting skies along with the fresh green foliage.

The Blue skies sure look different than my files ?? Is this because of compression?

Really like that second image. The low clouds lead the viewer into the image.

Nice stuff Bob! The fog and the color palette in #2 really make it stand out, and I like the sweep and sense of expanse in #4. And the birds are all great, especially the hummer! Blue skies are looking fine to me.

Spectacular! #s 3,4,& 5 look oversaturated on my screen (5 the most - the paintbrushes are blown out); I'd bring it down a little. Love the turkey and the owl.

Some really awesome conditions with the fog, and great photos. Thanks for sharing.

What a fine series! I'm really taken with #'s 2, 5, 6 & 7.
#2 looks so ominous (although a bit soft here). The hummingbird in the paintbrush is unique and so cool! Agree with dialing back the reds a bit.
The turkey and the owl are exceptionally good! You really scored on this trip, Bob!

Excellent series! Great clouds and birds. Lots of mood in the landscapes and they all have good comps. And nice color and clarity in the birds shots.

Considering my recent obsession with a NP that requires me to drive 20hrs there and back, these images just make me want to go back...I love Zion. Love #2 Bob.
