Mooning the Mine (8)
After the moon rose above the Cardinals, I drove to a lesser visited part of Coal Mine Canyon to see the moon set last Saurday morning. From this one ridge, I felt I was blessed with a bountiful morning.

Feel free to comment and critique.

Damn these are all awesome! Spiral Depths is the one for me. That was one hell of a productive morning!

Absolutely a wonderful morning. This one made my location list a long time ago and is in the works for a sunrise when I'm down that way in a few weeks. Hope I can be half as productive as you were. Nice work, Doug.

You're batting 1000 from this weekend, Doug. This is a truly excellent series!
#'s 5, 6 & 7 are my favorites, but I like 'em all. Great light and compositions throughout.
The shadow/highlight fix in #4 looks a bit heavyhanded, but that's the only nit I can see.
Sehr gut, mein freund! Got any more up your sleeve? :wink:

Really like the warm colors in #2.

Those are all excellent, but #1 kills it for me!
