Along the Dalton Highway

Any comments or critiques are appreciated. :-)

The colors seem too saturated to me. And it's also a bit comfused.

This is my kind of country, Lou Ann, and I would not have guessed Alaska if I had not already seen your folder. This appeals to me, since I love open views from high points, with all of the chaos and variety that nature throws into such scenes.

 

Homing in on that rocky area would be another possible crop.

Thanks, Lannie ... this is the only "close up" that I have. Obviously it was taken by someone else. :-)

Two pretty shots............

Both are very nice, Lou Ann.

Magnificent vista and difficult to capture on film. Did you get any close ups of those interesting-looking rock formations?

I've always had trouble framing scenes like this, Lou Ann. The lens is never wide enough to capture the grandeur of ones experience, and even if it was, composition usually suffers. I'm not sure how I would have framed this, but given the hindsight of seeing yours, I get the sense of interference from the foreground foliage - it's not enhancing the scene as one would expect. So, given what you've captured, I saw a couple of frames (shown in the attachment) that appealed to my eye.

WOW!! Thanks, Michael! Your PS skills are MUCH better than mine!! I love what you did here. I have to say that, although I didn't leave Alaska with an overwhelming desire to go back right away, one of the things that I DO want to do when I am there again (some day...) is to drive the Dalton Highway on my own, and not on a tour. Now that I know what would be involved, I am confident that I could do it. Then I could spend several days and truly explore places like this ... with my camera. What a blast THAT would be!!

Nice landscape Lou Ann, I like the idea of Michael too.
