Rifle Gap Ice Cave
We went up to Rifle Gap today and had a little fun in the ice cave.

I really must get back there--used to get there a couple times a year but its been a while. Really nice comp, Rich. The color certainly looks natural, but from my experience, i think you can squeeze some more color variation out of it--there are usually some rich blues mixed in with the aquamarines in that ice. Try playing with some WB variations--if you used auto WB it's almost always wrong for that ice.

Interesting formations and comp. Some great detail also. I might like to see the icicles a little brighter but they do form a nice contrast against the lighter-colored background as they are too.
