Mountains and Wildflowers
Spent last weekend in the Centennial Mountains of Montana and Idaho. I took a guess at the wildflowers up there and it paid off. Very rarely do I get three nice images in the same area on the same day.

This first image is looking down into the Red Rock Lakes area where they brought back the trumpeter swan from extinction years ago.

Thanks for the comments. Appreciate any feedback. Which one do you like?

The last light on the Centennials with the moon.

Wildflower filled meadows thanks to the heavy moisture this year. You can view a larger image of this in the Landscape Gallery. Well worth it.

I like all three with #3 probably my favorite.

These are spectacular Dean. I really like #2 and #3. The wildflowers in #3 are just awesome..so sharp and beautiful. I like the sky in #2. Some stunning views and colors.

#3 is awesome.

Wow the last 2 are really sweet -- nice work!

Excellent Dean!

Wildflowers somewhere besides Colorado? Craziness! :wink: All good but 2 and 3 are exceptional.

Outstanding stuff, Dean! Esp. #3.

All are nice, but 2 and 3 really stand out here. I like both for different reasons. #2 has that great sky and #3 has the incredible wilflowers. So equally great on both!

#'s 2 & 3 are my favorites, hands down. I can almost smell the sweet aroma of wet sage with #2. Love the skies and the moon, too!

I echo what everyone's said about 2 and 3! #3 is especially exceptional. That dark sky is awesome and a great compliment to the wildflowers filled meadow.

2&3 are both great, but I really like #2 for the cloud colors and the pastel sage.
Posted by Don George on July 19, 2011 at 10:28 AM
Outstanding work. #3 is a knock out.
Posted by Brian Jackson on July 19, 2011 at 10:33 AM
Great work! 2 and 3 are my favs.
Posted by Rod Hanna on July 19, 2011 at 12:06 PM
Yes, #3 is really exceptional.

These are great, Dean! I actually like 2 best, followed by 1. Three is a distant third--the highlites pull my eye too much to the corner, and there's not enough light on the flowers. But 1&2 are incredible. :smile:
Posted by Kane Engelbert on July 19, 2011 at 9:37 PM
Love all of them. That #3 image is special.

Wow, #3 is spectacular, Dean. :toast: :toast: :toast:
