This image, like all in this folder, was taken from a moving train--

the California Zephyr--as it moved through beautiful southwest

Colorado. Please

Like the other Red canyon image, I love the colours here. It is a shame that the course of the river is cut of on the RH side of this image, but still a nice shot, all the same.

What is happening in the foreground, though? You didn't "do" a Peter Daalder, and shot this from a car window, or something?

Yeah Peter, I did. This was shot from a Moving Train!

wow how do you keep these colors so alive?

You really caught the meanders of the river, and the background -- "purple mountain majesties" coms to mind. Wonderful palette.

This photo has all the colors known to Crayola. Very cool. Nice composition.

Actually, I like the fact that you cut off the edges of the river...creates more off-photo space...even though it's not there, you can totally imagine what it looks like...

Like the green..

This is a beautifully colored image, with much detail in the middle and background. I'd wish the foreground was crisper, but since you were moving, it's amazing you got as much detail as you did. The colors though, are really the best point. Bravo.

To much ground..to much sky... doesn't.. say anything...

Upload a smaller version. I'm on 1280x1024 and the image doesn't fit in my browser window. It's very frustrating if you can't overlook the entire picture.
