A Sky Pilot's View

Nothing grows higher than a Sky Pilot in the Sierra Nevada. Growing

right of the scree slopes of Agassiz staring at the Dusy Basin and off

into LeConte Canyon in the distance. The rocks just bounce off these

little dense bush like flowers that are only centimeters tall. Guess you

can say I appreciate the smaller things in life.

 

Sky Pilot's is also a common name for a person leading other's to

heaven. Not trying to say I'm taking you there but it's as close as you

can get on your own 2 legs in the mountains of California.

Excellent depth of field and beautiful colors. I like how the color of the flowers echoes the color of the sky!

A very nice composition! It says to me, life can survive anywhere!

Very nice photo! I very much like the low angle. 6/6

Amazing shot! It is astounding to see where such lovely flowers can grow!

A lovely shot. Great composition and perfect light.

Splendid location that you caught so well,regards Radu.

Wow! Wonderful lighting and saturation. Beauty in the midst of barroness. Thanks for sharing.

Steve: Good color and sharpness. This photo is very pleasing to the eye. Tom

Beautiful landscape. Great tones against violet-colored bushes.

I can feel the altitude so much here almost as if I'm falling off the cliff. Great way to bring in some of the senses beside just plain old sight.

Brilliant work Steve. Always love seeing new work from you!

Excellent job capturing this remote alpine utopia. "The Range of Light", indeed! Cheers, -Clayton

Perfect landscape,

Blue color does all the work in your frame

Steve: This is just a lovely shot. Rarely do you see an image that evokes fond memories (in this case of the mountains in spring or early summer), is visually so pleasing, and so well executed that you never think about the photo. So often when I look at a photograph something about the composition, the tonality, or some aspect catches my eye. That did not happen here. This is a complete image, not an image with some element that was well executed and drowns out the others. 

Beautifully done. Thanks for posting.
