"Rock Garden"

Just a different look from some others I have posted. In this case, a boulder breaks up the scene, but the overall flow is still a triangular wedge of flowers and an inverted wedge of sky. The detail is abundant and the richness of spring never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for offering a glance!

Please consider the Larger preview. Thanks for your thoughts!

Very nice colors, Mark. Nice compositon and detail as well. I like it alot.

I'm not quite as fond of the centrally placed stone breaking up the horizon as your other comps. It's still quite nice, and I would be proud to have it in my portfolio, but many of your other posts have been stronger.

Thanks Jerry and Marc. Marc, I totally agree. It seems when we look through the viewfinder, our eyes can become mesmerized by what we are seeing, hindering our cognitive skills as photographers. It wasn't until I was looking at the RAW images in ACR that I realized the boulder was so centered. Obviously working the flowers and the setting sun came into play as well as trying to time my capture, but this is a perfect example of "armchair quarterbacking" in your case and "duh" in my case. I have one more comp I will post soon that has rocks on either side and the setting sun off center that is a stronger comp, yet lacks the denser stand of lupine. Thanks for your expert feedback, it is greatly appreciated!

Beautiful work!
