Wind Swept

I spent almost the whole day here waiting for a break in the clouds. It was a uniform

blanket of grey until late into the afternoon. Unfortunately it clouded up again before

there was much colour in the sky. This is by best effort of the main formation.

 

Despite the fact it was already the second week of June it snowed in the evening

closing a couple of the mountain passes. The local newspaper called it Juneuary.

A very pleasant picture, Ian. I like the great variety of tones, about all! Congratulations. Regards. Sergio

Beautifully composed, color rendition is spot on! A very nice shot!

Definately well worth the break...great shot, supurb DOF and colouring!

Nice.....I like the grass in the foreground indicating the direction the wind is blowing and leading me to the colorful hills that are so well exposed. This would have been good even without the sky. Fred

Thanks all. I was particularly happy with the wind-blown grass and clouds both flowing right and the layers of the hills sloping left.

 

I missed this when you first posted it. Glad I found it. Beautiful capture with lots of DOF and the colors are simply gorgeous. Great capture...RAY

Such fine detail and color Ian. A beautifully composed image and inviting.

 

It is a keeper. the wind is so well felt, as well as the layer of the landscape, which are so different in looks and details, as well as in their color palette.

 

It has a bit of an immaginative Z form, starting from the greenesh weeds, direction to the R , leading to the L side of the brown/loess red color, and back to the dark mountain line, direction R again. The blue sky is a nice colder addition. Very well observed and executed, I'm sure it will be a beautiful print.

Thanks everyone.

 

Pnina, that strong Z pattern is what made me pick this image over the other compositions I made.
