Well, like Stan, I made a trip to Evans recently. I was up there last Tuesday. I went in the afternoon and was planning to stay and shoot sunset, but the clouds closed out the west sky. I could see the Flagstaff fire just getting started. It was started by lightning from the storms that formed that afternoon. I got some shots of goats, like Stan, but none were very good. The Bighorn ewes strolled through this first photo for some added elements.
#1 and #3. Morris, your composition in both images is mindboggling to me. In the field, you see comp that I just don't see. I walk on by... I have work to do!
Enjoyable set, Morris. I especially like the wildflower image - it almost looks like it was arranged - good eye to see this. I also like the photographer image with the sense of scale and the repeated forms in the mountain peak and the distant storm cloud. There is also a sense of tension from the darkened storm clouds building overhead.
Some really nice shots here. second one seems like an intimidating spot to be taking pics from. The flower shot is my fav too. The arrangement and symmetry is just perfect.
I'm a sucker for views, so the first one really stands out to me. The opening in the clouds is pretty interesting and lends a lot to the comopsition - an meteorological false kiva of sorts.
Rarely does shooting directly above a grouping of wildflowers work as well as your third image here. That shot is the standout winner of this post to me. It is definitely an attention-grabber. Magnificent.

14 repliesThe photographer on the summit provides some great scale.
Would be nice to have a few lightning bolts in the background.
