Monk Lake

Outstanding landscape capture and as usual your exposure set remarkably here, the DOF is also very effective and brought out all of the fine details out of this amazing and relaxing place, the colors along with the moving clouded sky is a superb add and enhances the high quality of this image and its composition.

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

A gorgeous location, superbly photographed, Linda! Excellent com position, and exposure, an interesting sky, and a real feeling of serenity, grace this marvelous landscape.

All the best,
Neil

A beautiful landscape-shot with very nice colours and lighting, Linda!

With best regards,

The scratchiness of the dry weeds and brush seem to be mirrored in the wispiness and chaos in the sky.  That leaning pine, almost devoid of needles, seems to be groaning under the pressure of staying upright.  I know how you feel, buddy.  It's been a long week.

Beautiful landscape !

On dirait une carte postale.

Best regards.

Woow Linda, What a nice landscape. Very good use of the vertical orientation.

Best regards.

Thanks very much everyone. I really appreciate the kind words and support.

It's a good picture, but the frame makes it look like a tacky postcard to me.  best, jamie

Thank you! I appreciate your honest comment. To frame or not to frame is always something I consider. I like this style here the best because it is simple and it usually, at least in my mind, distract. But maybe this one iwould have been better just on it's own, unframed. Best wishes, Linda

it makes the picture so small, though!

Linda,

  Beautiful scene with wonderful composition & colors.  Take care, Patsy

Alright then, I will post my next landscape minus the frame. You do have a point about making it look smaller. Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lovely color and good detail
