Colorful Colorado

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image during my Fall Trip to Colorado - San Juan Skyway.

I wanted to explore the possibility of long exposure for motion in clouds. There was heavy winds and I was not getting sharp image with the trees and Before i could try any further there was a snow storm which covered the mountains.

Hi Krishna...a very beautiful composition, well processed. Lots of nice diagonals created by the aspens and the evergreen trees and nice detail throughout...well done!

[Robert Kimbrell]

Well done Krishna. Beautiful colors and composition.

Hi Krishna. This is a lovely image...I like the foreground colours and details. However, the difference in colour between the foreground and background mountains and sky is not working for me...almost like a colour and black & white image combined. Maybe it's the color efex pro filter you used...not sure.

Wonderful fall mountain scene. Like everything about this one.

Hi Paul.

I removed the Blue color cast in the Background mountains.

Here is another version which had little bit more Vibrance.

Also in this one I did not remove the Blue cast on the mountains.

Both well done, nicely designed, and well processed.
