Long’s Peak Sunset

    Alpenglo is always entrancing. The rocks show great strength and character, almost like sculpture.
    Very nice potd!

    Love the color on the mountains.

  3. Pauline Jones Pauline Jones Says:

    Nice photo but I would have cropped in a little closer as the rocks actually feel like a wall obscuring the view behind.

  4. Su Su Says:

    What a fanatastic scene, I could look at it for ages, love the colours :)

    Balanced nice shot. I like the color but it does not say much. But its just my opinion. I do appreciate the fact that the image is focused all over and that is something I vow for :-)

    Nice color scheme

    Rocky indeed! Nice warm glow in what must be a pretty cold area. I like the different colors on the foreground,

    There is a big giant laying on the ground on the right side of this rock, pointing with his finger up and on the left side on the top of the rock there is a little UFO saucer sitting. ;) I couldn’t help to notice.

    Great shot though. I love the shade created by the sun on the rock. And I love how clear is the air in the mountains, had an opportunity to climb one of similar mountains once and will never forget the experience. Thanks for reminding about that with your shot :) .
