After printing that, I'd shut down the darkroom for the night, even if it was the first image. No topping that anytime soon.Quote:

I feel unworthy presenting clouds in the shadow of Kitchen, but there's a benefit in making an effort at least...
Wow, what a stunning pair of images! I like the hole of clear sky in the midst of the clouds, John.
Clouds leave this place where I live in early June, not to return until September or October - I'm feeling their absence! :(
Fantastic image! A great location well presented. Actually it stands out as one of the more unique images I have seen from the Mono Lake area as most folks are standing by the tufa towers at the lake or seem to be over at Bodie. This is different and very well done.Quote:

By all means show us more!
Dear John,
I am truly humbled... :)
Your images surely generate a wondrous luminosity, don't they?
Nicely done.

agree heartily with Darren and Jim -- that's a great image John!
Maybe it's the foreground, but it reminded me of Don Kirby's 'grasslands' portfolio:

[Note to self: buy his book. I really like this work too... :]
Thanks fellas. I'm the one that's humbled, Jim. I felt pretty lucky to have that scene unfold in front of me, although I did trudge, "a bit off the main road", as they say.
I admire Kirby's work and see the analogy, Brian. In a way, I think we all fall into similar patterns with certain compositions. I like how grasses can set up a contrast to an image that has a lot of horizontal movement, as, I'm sure, have many before me.
Thanks Darren for taking a good look. You've made me look at it more closely myself. :)
Sublime images, Jim and John. I have no clouds to offer;

Dear David,
Thank you for your comments, and it seems to me that your excellent images are truly above the clouds... :)
Nicely done.
