Last One from the Palouse
Well,... at least from me. I have finished going through all my images and this is the last one I felt was a keeper. The shot was taken from a lower elevation of Steptoe Butte during an afternoon break in the clouds. So unfortunately, the light angle is not ideal, but the shadows from the clouds at least help to create variations in the light. Let me know your thoughts.

Tim! This is sweet! I'm on my crappy roasting room computer but it still looks awesome! You might be able to go with a smidge less foreground.

Thanks Mark, I agree. That dark foreground has been bothering me. I have tried a couple of times to lighten it up a bit, but cropping is probably the best answer.

I think mid-day cloud shadows are underrated. Nice work Tim! I agree about the dark FG.

Tim,
I lIke the soft light in this one. Very cool

I love it, I like Mark's suggestion about cropping just a little of the bottom off.

I love it and would take it with or without the crop. I like the linear line that the grass gives to anchor the image but it's very strong even without it. Great catch with the cloud shadows.

Sweet, it reminds me of home. A great keeper image.

I kinda like how the bottom builds in lightness to the farmhouse. Cool shot. :smile:
