Lake Ranch Trail - above Olema

Critique Request please -- the fog layer was perfect -- no bright sunny

motes peeking through! Douglas Fir dominated forest 1300' above Olema,

Calif. along the San Andreas rift zone.

Great Image, why the ISO 400?

Excellent composition, colors, and lighting. The trail leads pleasantly into the scene. Well done. Cheers, -Clayton

The crop of this amazing landscape capture is remarkable and the parts brought out are so well balanced exposure wise and present it self in superb DOF and very fine details with original colors, the composition is so well thought off and enhancing the technical quality of this image.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

ISO 400 because it was "dark".  Highest ISO with cleanest image I could use and still a large print (18x12 inches minimal).  Hand held (no tripod, 5 miles into the hike)

A classic.  This would sell briskly as stock.
