Nice composition, Dave, but maybe a bit cool?

^ nice photo Dave!

I wonder how it would've looked using HDR though.

[MaximusJ]

Yup; very nice dynamic range.

Awesome capture. I think a quick curves adjustment (to make some of the colors pop) would make this image even better. great work.

An oldy but a goodie. I forget the body and lens. I believe it was a 20D. No idea on lens. Multiple strobes.

Thanks.

I'm undecided about color temp. The foreground is in a cloud shadow and the back rock is in the sun and looks about right to me. Maybe I should bring the whole thing up. Really red, red rocks never bothers anyone.

Have you tryed different settings in DxO (if that's what you used this time) like Landscape? Might just bump the saturation subtly enough to make a difference.

I like the picture otherwise, it's a reminder of what I see in Colorado almost every time I'm out that way.

Yes, I've investigated the many DxO presets and routinely use a couple and then modify those slightly.

When I look at this one on my calibrated monitor, it's just right, but when I look at it on my cool-screened Lenovo laptop, it's too cool. Are you looking at it on a laptop? Browsers also make some difference. I think that Chrome is the most accurate.

Every year about this time there is a day when I look out at the woods behind the house and think, "Wow, that's really green." It's usually right after a rainy spell like we've been having the past few days. Well today was the day. All the leaves are out in their full glory. The green is overwhelming.

what's that little animal in the frame?

One of our outdoor cats. They hide down there waiting for some bird to be dumb enough to land on the ground to grab a seed or something.

[Chewy734]

ahh... sneaky.
