Paradise Valley Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo shows the Valley of the Ten Peaks,where Lake Moraine is located at an elevation of approximately 6183 feet (1884 m).
This view is approximately the opposite of the one showed in my latest picture.
This one is also a "mild" HDR.Without using this procedure,the sky would have been blown out,even with my ND filter.

Hello ,
I can tell you , Nelu , that it is allways a great pleasure for me to travel in the Rocky Mountains , looking at your pictures . The quality is so good , that I get the feeling to be inside the scenery . Here , the flowery fore ground adds to the beauty of the perfect composition . European mountains are beautiful , too . But these ones are something more : the wildness . No little wooden huts or cows . Only the gorgeous nature .
Thanks for the share
Denis

Hi Nelu
wonderful take
The flowers in the foreground are a good idea, giving a nice depth to the picture

Hello Nelu,
Simply a glorious landscape. And without the artificial look of so many HDR photos.
Well done,
Regards,
Paul

Greetings Nelu.
A marvellous richly coloured landscape, with incredible lighting and lovely clouds' shadows on the hills. Marvellous view along the valley and delightful colours of the flowers in the foreground. The HDR work is quite good, not too artificial at all. With a blown out sky, the photo is not worth much at all. This way, you have produced a very nice picture.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Nelu:

Nice shot here--although the lighting conditions on the mountains aren't ideal, you made up for it somewhat with the lighting in the foreground but particularly those wildflowers. But the composition is excellent. Is this Paradise Valley? I thought Paradise Valley wasn't road accessible--isn't it the valley between Mt. Temple and Mt. Fairview? Anyway, nice shot here.

Hi Nelu,

This is exactly what i mean with a natural looking view without seeing a too obvious HDR treatment. I love this one much more than the previous version. A very nice play with light and shadow. Deep greens on the hill, great mountains around...man we must chance houses for a year, i would never get bored living in such an area ;-)

Take care,

Henk

Well this is a view that I recognize - on the road in to Moraine Lake. Great spot for wildflowers, and a great shot too, with the way you not only show the flowers but also the mountains behind. Well done!

the tender flowers in the foreground and the rough mountains in the back: you made marvellous composition of it. The light and the shadows ware beautiful too!

Hi Nelu
The mild HDR looks great for this gorgeous landscape. Colors are wonderful, but I have the impression that you are missing a bit of dof in the foreground (always difficult to say when looking such a small picture).
Bravo
Chris
