marcadamus 1 Posted September 15, 2011 Reflection Lake and Mount Rainier is one of the most photographed andiconic landscapes in the world, which is the reason I have never shotit despite passing by a hundred times or more. On this morning,however, I just couldn't resist. The fact there were a dozen otherphotographers there didn't diminish the fact it was strikingly beautiful. Link to comment
nhut-nguyen 0 Posted September 15, 2011 Definitely a work of art, your framing and composition are too perfect. I love it! Link to comment

raddatzphoto 0 Posted September 15, 2011 Lovely, Marc. Was anything but ambient given to light the foreground flora? Link to comment
marcadamus 1 Posted September 15, 2011 Nope, just some very gentle mid-tone and highlight dodging there. Now that you mention it...seems to be overdone slightly. Thanks. Link to comment
tkj365 0 Posted September 16, 2011 The framing and composition is near perfection. I like the dodging and contrast. This may be one of the best of Rainer I have ever seen. Link to comment
photodonn 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Spectacular as usual Marc, but I am in love with this one particularly. Just outstanding having the pastels in the background, providing even more contrast with the bold colors in the foreground. Sweetness. Link to comment
doug_m1 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Greetings from Canada Marc, yes this is a location we have all seen many times before, but I knew this was one of your photos without even looking at the name! 1 question, is there always this many wildflowers in this condition on the second week of Sept.? I would of thought the blossums would have deteriorated or fallen off by now.Doug Link to comment
marcadamus 1 Posted September 17, 2011 Hey Doug, thanks. No. This was taken just three days ago and I can tell you that saying this year is an anomaly is an understatement. I have never before seen things even close to as late as they are this year. Wildflowers have not even reached peak yet at Rainier as a write this! In fact, fall colors are starting to show up now as small plants are still melting out of the winter's snow, which was not only one of the heaviest on record, but took longer to melt than any year in history according to some reports. Wildflower season (spring in the mountains) is a full 6-8 weeks late a Rainier this year and 4-5 weeks late throughout the Cascades and Sierra. There were still ample patches of snow around Reflection Lake here at only 4800ft in elevation. Link to comment

bobby_ho 0 Posted September 17, 2011 An outstanding work! No words could completely describe the beauty of this scene, this picture says it all. (7) Link to comment
alaverdy 0 Posted September 17, 2011 knowing how dark the foreground is at this spot at this time of the day compared to the mountain makes looking at this image a small bit uncomfortable, but overall looks great anyway Link to comment

rebecca_burgard 0 Posted September 22, 2011 Hi Marc Adamus, Im Rebecca and I am taking a black and white photography class in college and i am learning to improve my criticing skills. My assignment was to critic any photo that attracts are eye and show towhat comes to are mind when viewing the photo. When i was scrolling i seen Beauty, which striked me as soon as i seen it. The coloring of the sky and the flowers stands out beautifully and i love how the colors from the sky accent the water making it look like one big sky. When viewing this piece it gives me a sense of peace and tranquillity. I admire the color scheme that was used in this piece and also the focus of the piece which I would see as the top of the mountain. I also like how the whole focus isn't on the mountain and the sun set, for i feel that the flowers and the colors from them jump out and show there beauty. Link to comment
roberto4 0 Posted September 22, 2011 this pict is soooo beautiful. When I see painting like this picture I am sure I would say "kitschy". So, what is it now? A fotoartwork or .... Of course I like it ;-) Link to comment
marc_dilley1 0 Posted September 30, 2011 Not only are flowers late this year, but more luxuriant than I've seen in 35 years of backpacking...Marc, ignoring for a moment the obvious beauty of the scene and your usual awesome processing: The flowers look like they have a fill-in flash. They appear way too bright for early sunrise to my eye. That's my only gripe; otherwise I love it. Link to comment
w-j-li 0 Posted October 18, 2011 Very impressive! Great foreground with the subjest in the mist. Nice refection... Great work. Best regards, Link to comment
rebecca_burgard 0 Posted November 15, 2011 I love this picture so much. The way my eye moves constantly around the picture shows the directional flow of how the picture is portrayed. The sense of symetry also used in this piece is very good as well, such as, how the mountain reflects off the lake makes a very nice mirror look making the picture look very proportionate. The colors work very well together and complement eachother, making the piece flow nicely. I also like the depth of the mountain in the back and how it doesnt become faded by looking at the beautiful sharp flowers in the foreground. Link to comment
markdonohue 0 Posted April 23, 2012 Hi Marc,For me the saturation is a little strong but having said that it stopped me in my tracks as I was browsing, the colors of the sky does completement the flowers and the perfectly still water with the reflections,and mist it's an image I would aspire to capture. lovely. 7 all the way..
