Due to the way this forum works, I can't post a photo here until tomorrow - but I wanted to share that I was at Lost lake tonight and the Trilliums around the lake are the most beautiful I've ever seen. There are hundreds of them - white, pink, purple, white and purple.

I posted a portrait shot in the Flora Forum if you want to see what I'm talking about.

John,
Thanks for the update. That is a real nice trillium shot. It might be cropped a little tight at the top. Colors and processing look real good.

Nice John, how was the sunset? Did you get a good reflection?

Yea - the above is at twilight. There were clouds while the clouds turned red that were really amazing. I posted these at FM today:

It was a really great evening for me. I loved walking around the lake as well. This was the first time I've ever photographed Trilliums so that was also really cool !

The mountain put on great show for you that night. You did really well working those roots into the foreground on that second image. I tried the same thing, but I didn't get it to work.
