The Palouse hills at sunrise, shot from Steptoe Butte

This is one of my favorites from last spring. I've made a few minor

adjustments. Comments are much appreciated. Thanks for looking! Chip

Thanks for the rating anonymous. Please tell me what you think might help pull this image out of the "average, fair" category. I really appreciate comments for lower ratings.

I think it's better than average :)

Wonderful landscape photo! Top rythm, colours, composition!

I think it's one of the best view I ever seen, wonderfully taken into a picture.

Wow, these colors are amazing. Also love the mood or feel of it. Only thing I would maybe change is: if you were a little higher you would be able to see more of the buildings and farm, you know, get above that little hill.

Thanks very much for your comments!! I am kind of surprised by the ratings this time around. Lots of 4's and 5's?? My last post of this image, distracting elements in tact, brought in mostly 7's.....Maybe I should have left it. I like this rework better personally, and this is one of my favorite images. Hmm....Am I missing something here?

I don't put any stock in ratings. If they are too lazy to comment then their opinion isn't worth your time.

Great composition and a beautiful image. I'm not sure about the difference in color between the purple-pink (obviously I didn't learn my color wheel) distant fog and the orange sky; the two together seems a bit incongruous. Great area that I missed this spring.

Very eye-pleasing image. Love those curves and color layers.

Fantastic landscape....great color....composition....technique....light and lack thereof.....thank you for sharing. Best to you, Ron Dobbs

Chip--I have lived and traveled this area for years and have to say you captured the magic of the Palouse. Great Composition and I love the colors. This looked familiar so I am humbly attaching a picture I took several years ago late in the day, early spring. I thought you might enjoy the contrast. Anytime of day it's beautiful country. Thanks for sharing. ---Jim Tipton, Spokane

 

 

Man, Kevin and yourself are making me regret my choice of heading to the ocean instead of the Palouse...this is an outstanding shot! The light is just sublime.

superb photograph! Wonderful sky and waving hills. Perfectly composed and technically flawless. My best congrats.

Great countryside and excellent photo. The colours, composition, overall harmony

Delicious image, even for those who have in favorites people like Marc, Simon, Patrick, etc. ...

 

Congratulations.

Absolute delightful image, Chip! Great scenery, fantastically elaborated and brought into picture. The landscape looks very 'Italian' by the way. Congratulations and kind regards, El

I full agree with El! Grat image!

Another fabulous shot of the Palouse Hills. Wonderful serenity and atmosphere. I could hang that photo on my wall at home anytime.

Best wishes.

Such a wonderful sense of the place here with marvelous color transitions and atmosphere throughout.

I live in this area thats not fog its dust. Its a very beautiful capture colors are very good. Lighting is superb. The farm house adds scale, this is a big ole land.
