Draped

Here are a couple more from my trip up Guanella Pass last Saturday. The conditions changed almost minute to minute making for a very enjoyable day. The first one is obviously a pano. It was after a storm had moved through, and clouds began draping Mt. Bierstadt. Because a pano is so small in the 720 wide option there is a larger version, too.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thanks for looking.

This was while the showers were still over the peaks.

I like your composition in the pano- foreground, stringer of angled firs on the left, and placement of the peak and lake.

These are nice enough Morris, but the images from your first series were so good that these feel sorta like outtakes to me.

I agree with John. I do like the pano format but the lighting doesn't excite me. I like the softness of #2. Nice job processing.

The conditions and processing in these are really nice, Morris. But #2 just has too many willows in the foreground for me. And I think the comp in the pano would be improved by trimming a substantial amount off the left. I'm not sure just how much, I'd experiment with a few different possibilities.

Thanks for all the input guys!
