Hey there..I've been to this area....its gorgeous..but you didnt touch the colours up at all? I mean they are totally PERFECT! unbelievably beautiful!!! gosh..I need to travel over there....I dont have enough words to say about such a perfect photo!! just outstanding!!!
Another nice one :) You are definitely showing Washington to its best advantage.
On another note: The thumbnail shows that the framing is tilted to the left so that there apprears to be some black space at the end of the picture on the right side, but in full view, there's more black space on the left. Strange. :-P Moving frames notwithstanding, this is going in my favorites :)
I wholeheartedly agree with the comment above, that you did no injustice by focusing on the colours and patterns present in the land and leaving the horizon out of it. This seems 'otherworldy' ... and to have seen it first, and then captured it, great work.
Again, ... lost ... pleasantly, I might add, by your artistry. Thanks for sharing.
