The Swirls

In pursuit of the passion, we decided to spend a late evening in the Coyote Buttes area of the Vermilion Wilderness to catch the last light of the day. We knew that the 3.5 miles hike back to the trail head in dark would be no fun, but the anticipation of catching the clouds and the last light in the wilderness proved irresistible. Needless to say our pursuit of passion was richly rewarded�

Just beautiful!!!

A stunning photo, I'm glad you stayd out there so late because this image is faboulus. Both the colors, the lines in the landscape abd the composition. My rating 7-7. / Kjell in Sweden

just great view!

Your pursuit of the passion certainly paid off here Jay. You captured great shadows, colours and a fabulous sunset. It's perfect! Hope you made it out safely. Kim

without a doubt one of your best shots, Jay!

Beautiful capture,incredible sky and fantastic composition.

The photo looks very deep and 3d, I like amazing sunset colours (both magenta and blue) that reflect in water. Lines carved in rocks have beautiful colour and perfect sharpness.

Great work! The Composition is perfect and about the colours, the red/magenta of the sky works very well with the red of the rock. The lines on this one makes like a whirl which drives the eye towards the little lake and the background.

You've really nailed this one, Jay. The swirls work their way around throughout the frame. Amazing lighting to boot. One of your finest!

 

Would you care to mention your settings? ISO, F-stop and shutter? Did you use a hard-edge or a soft-edge?

 

Thanks in advance.

My, My, Jay, I am used to the beauty of your shots, but here you have reached an even higher level if possible for thw qaulity of light and the composition. This is a breathtaking place and shot.

This shot was take with 3.2s @ F16. I used a soft 0.6 ND Grad to take this shot. Thanks for the comments.

Wonderful lights, beautiful swirling patterns, a lovely landscpe.

 

Regards...

fantastic lines and color scheme.

Gorgeous! Your pursuit pays handsomely. The satisfaction of getting this wonderful image of great lighting & colours (not to say composed excellently) is worth the hard hike back.

Jay,

I love the foreground swirls and the overall tonalities. Did you pop down lower and grab the sky's reflection in that little pool?

This was the only angle at which I could get Sky Reflection. The clouds were low enough on the horizon that going closer to the pond would have meant loss of reflections. Thanks for the comments.

Wow, was it ever worth it! Absolutely breathtaking!

Top-class Jay.

I wouldn't change a thing here.

Congratulations, Piotr
