gorgeous!

Fantastic, sharp and clear, and the color is perfect, 7/7

Lively colors ... very sweet photo. Large format is awesome. I wish I were smart enough to use it.

But almost never this well!

 

I like the above the road perspective, that really sets it apart form the winding road in the woods theme. The technical merit boosts the asthetics to a 7, the original perspective gives an old theme new life.

 

The sun from the left/front really makes the color in teh trees glow, super nice job on all aspects.

Gosh ... what can one say? This is great! Maybe there will be a run on the 4x5's in the camera stores!

Bobby, To the above positive comments I will add that I think the success of this shot is, in large part, due to the dramatic side-back lighting that sets the foliage aglow. Wise decision. Actually, Michael said virtually the same thing but I missed his comment first time around. Best, LM.

This is such a great shot, it gives me the feeling I am there, breathing in the mountain fresh air and soaking in the fall colors.

Bobby, your work and Igor Amelkovich both keep me using film more so than my digital gear. Medium and large format film beats any digital camera images hands down. Although 35mm and the 8MP are close, the tonal range and film characteristics of certain films are more enjoyable to my eye. Thanks for sharing this incredible image.

Fantastic

This is extremely beautiful! Perfect lines! Perfect colours! Perfect sharpness! Perfect scene! Large format really has the IMPACT!

Thanks for sharing!

I have only seen these places in my dreams. It is hard to believe It exists. Besides the composition and colour, it is an artistict view of nature.

Absolutely stunning. I really like the way the split rail fence leads you into the photo. I just cancelled a trip to colorado on September 24th because I decided it was too close to the day our first child is supposed to be born. I'm dying to see Colorado in the fall. - Scott

Incredible colors, contrast, detail, and perfect composition. Artwork.

This comment goes for all your pictures. Every photo you take is crystal clear and at the very best exposure possible. You take great shots and makes me feel like I was accualy in the landscapes that you shot. You don't use ordinary film camera's do you?

Wow...! I don't often see a 7/7, but this is one. Spectacular in all regards!

Very beatiful colours. Why the fence is so made? Any particula reason? Bye

How much does the Toyo 4x5 weigh and what is the cost involved per image including film and development but not scan? Typically how much time involved for development of film?

I have never seen a photo that came so close to what the eye (my eye, at least) sees on a fall day. That is...just...wow... I think I'm going to start saving money for a large format camera. When I saw that it wasn't manipulated either...that's the real kicker. There is some stunning work on this site done by other photographers with photoshop but this trumps all of them, IMO. I didn't know film was capable of this.

Love the high viewpoint!

And another spectacular Colorado landscape!

simply amazing..would be interresting to see a winter shot from the same spot.

I liked colours and the brilliance of your works. This is just one of the most stunning pieces. I really wonder how you get those brilliant colors... superb...thanks for sharing your great works with us...

Wonderful fall landscape, well done!
