Here are a couple that I've finally got around to processing. Great trip and Todd Caudle is a great instructor.
The first is from Porphyry Basin

#2 Same location. Forget what these are called.

#3 I liked how these were growing right out of the rocks.

#4 Is from Animas Forks. Really cool little ghost town. I could spend more time nosing around here.

#6 Was able to pull quite a bit out of the shadows with this one.

#7 Sunset From Engineer Pass
Sunsets didn't really want to cooperate because of the rain. This is about a 60% crop.

#8 The next morning at Yankee Boy Basin. Not a lot of water.

#9 A pika and his buds in the back ground.

#10 Played around a little with Silver Efex.

#11 Not sure if I capture the look I was going for here. I thought this mine stuck into the side of mountain contrasted with the earth glacier slowly moving down the basin.

#12 and finally our last morning at Clear Lake

#13 You have to have a lucky 13.

#2 is paintbrush, #3 is moss campion.

That's a really nice one of Clear Lake. Looks like you made the rounds around the San Juans.

Great Gallery, thanks for sharing. The San Juans always have something to offer.
That's a beautiful series. #5 and #11 jumped out at me in particular.

Very cool Lance. My faves are 4, 8, 11, and 12. The cabin shot of 4 is nice though I think it could use a bit more contrast. Numero ocho has beautiful sky and color. In number eleven it's the scale that gets me, it's incredible. 12 has a great reflection and a pretty nice sky. Well done all around.
#4, 5 are my favs. I love the road leading up to the structure in #4. I like the layering in 10 but I would crop off about 1/2 the sky. #8 is beautiful but check for a little overexposure in the sky to the right of Gilpin Peak.

This really is a remarkable series! It's easier for me to point out the ones that I'm not fond of, because I think the rest are excellent.
I find the light too harsh in #1. Cropping out much of the sky in #10 would be an asset, and your vision for #11 doesn't really translate well for me. But hey, you should be thrilled to get so many keepers from what can be a crap shoot in the summer.

Great set! You really captured the "feel" of the mountains around here. I think the last two are my faves, along with #8.
