Maroon Lake This AM
Yea I know it is just the Maroon Bells, but the flowers were great and the light was nice! :smile:

May just be Maroon Bells to a bunch of photographers, but, I bet this image would sell all day long to the general public. Excellent image, Steve.

I like how the color in the orange flowers repeats in the clouds. Nicely done.

Well done!

Beautiful looking scene. Love the flowers and great sky as well.

Was that you at the bridge at Lost Lake Slough Sunday morning?

I think its a great and unique take on the Bells, really well done.

This is a very nice departure from the "normal" Maroon photo.
Well seen and composed!

Great eye, Steve, the flower colors repeating in the clouds adds continuity to the whole comp, very pleasing to view!

Nice.. I did not recognize you as I walked by, but Anne told me that was you. Hope you had a good time.

Just the Maroon Bells huh? I think this is a pretty unique Bells image. Great flowers, great comp, great light, and of course a beautiful location. What more could a photog ask for?

Really nice image! The orange clouds really compliment well the centers of the fine line of white "daisies?" and the other orange flowers behind. All of the elements make nice lines eminating from the center of the image.

Fantastic composition and I love the color in the clouds. Awesome!

What a refreshing take on this area! Put me down as another that likes the cloud/flower color.

Great flowers and sky!

Different perspective. Like the flowers in the foreground.

Sweet! Love the leading line and great fg material! Looks like a slight halo on the rhs ridge line.

A unique take on this place, Stephen. Great foreground flowers and the sky is just as sweet. Very well done.
