Beautiful scene, John, and I have to agree that the PP makes it look even better. Well done on both counts.

I'm back.Thanks everyone for your comments. I put my PP version of this into exhibition at a slightly smaller size to accommodate sharpening.

There is a reason that this one came out so good in the camera ... it wasn't that bright out. The entire valley was in the G9's range of processing so I went for it. Most of the time the clouds themselves would overwhelm the sensor ... so I typically favor getting the clouds or bright spots best I can and hope that I can re-lighten the rest to match what I saw. For this one, it just happened to all fit in. -John

Great view! I like the layering of the hills. I agree that this shot is post card ready. My favorite of the shots you've posted.

Looks like I should start finding time to get to the mountains. It's kind of embarrasing with you putting up these rippers when the mountains are only an hour drive across town from me. Print it, stamp it, and mail it becasue this is a post card. -Doug

Beautiful scene. In landscape, this would make a great wallpaper for a pc.

Well this morning it rained. I guess it was too much to expect ... 75F Sunny Skies for the entire week. Big front moving through including snow. Time for us to go south to New Mexico. Here is the PP versionhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/johnprichard/3969259068/
