Black-eyed Susans on the Bluff

A week ago we paddled our canoe below these bluffs, which are called

Vilander Bluffs, the highest on the Meramec River. I looked up and saw

lots of black-eyed susans and other wildflowers growing along the edge

of the bluff and decided a photo from the top would make a nice image.

So a week later I came back at dawn and found this lovely misty scene.

There is no trail to this spot, I had found it last winter, but with a

stored GPS route, I got there in the dark without going off the edge.

Very nice atmosphere, composition and details.

What a wonderful perspective!

The clarity of the foreground flowers, the gentle curve of the river and the misty ridge above which there appears the warm hues of the sky!

Wow! So worth getting out of bed for! 7

Sincere Compliments!

Robert,  This image is spectacular.  Early awakening paid you dividends with this terrific color and light and perfect reflections.  The black-eyed susans set off the image and offer a wonderful burst of bright color.  Great mood with the fog too.  I also ditto Alf's comments.  Best to you.  Larry

Hi Robert, Wow! this is amazing!!!!

We've almost run out of superlatives for this and rightly so. Very beautiful shot, I especially like the texture on the foreground rocks and the misty horizon against the morning clouds.

Very impressive landscape with wonderful foreground and beautiful background.

Certainly has the wow factor!  Good eye.

Fantastic place very well capture ... great work, Robert.

Well worth the effort it took to get there.  This is great, razor sharp front to back.  Absolutely perfect composition, the rocks and flowers up front leading to the river, the haze above the trees and the spectacular sunrise.  Well done.

Good that the trek didn't exhaust the artist and technician in you.  Excellent work, Robert.

Wonderful control of light throughout the frame, and great composition as well, with an exceptionally striking foreground.  That looks like a perfect river for canoeing.

Good job Robert.

Trees, skies and water are amazing.

The touch of yellows deliver a nice contrast.

Really nice.

Love this capture, the sunset /sunrise is beautifully captured with a great reflection in the water which pulls the eye into the scene, the soft clouds the flowers in the forefront makes for a stunning image.  Wonderful beauty and great composition.  Best Regards, Sherry

A real heaven image! well done robert!
