Shrine Ridge last week
Here's an image from Shrine Ridge I shot last week. Still a little early for the proliferation of Indian Paintbrush, so I'll have to go back again in a little while. Let me know what you think.

Beautiful scene with some terrific skies, but I'm on the fence about that placement of that stump, and I find the foreground to be unnaturally bright considering the time of day this was taken.

Thanks, John. Perhaps that stump needed to move a little to the left. The image is an HDR so I tried to bring up a dark foreground against a bright background.

Left and down for the stump and you've got a great comp! I'm not a big fan of HDR too much anymore. The best thing I've found for blending images in LR/Enfuse. If you have Lightroom, a $5.00 donation can get you an awesome little app. that looks way more natural.

I like a lot about this Randall, but do agree with Jack's suggestions on the comp.
