Two Rivers Lake

Here's a couple from a hike the other morning to Two Rivers Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was brutally windy with the snow blowing around as you can see if you look for it in these shots. Hopefully, these were worth the effort.

We miss timed our hike and didn't make the lake before sunrise, but a quick stop in the hike paid off with this sunrise shot. Check out the snow in the trees.

Both are good, Jon.

Wow!! Awesome shots Jon. #2 should be hanging in a gallery!

Nice shots.

...... Sasquatch possibly? Hmmmmmm...

Interesting footprints. Probably someone on snowshoes walking across new snow and packing the snow down. The light stuff around the prints blew away leaving his packed down prints.

I have to get out of the house more often. I'm envious of all the great shots everyone posts.

Yeah, I'd say it was worth the hike! Are you still using the Luminosity Mask technique? If so, it is working well for your processing.

Such majestic shots. The colors are outstanding, I particulary like the sky in the first and the blue in the second one.

What a sunset, really liking this.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

This is as good a theory as any and may very well be what happened. I tried to capture the raised aspect of the prints, but don't think I did them justice. I like the way the shot came out overall, but I think I could have highlighted the prints better.

I still do, but not on these. Both were manually blended using various selection techniques.

Very nice shots!

Very cool! #2 is awesome

great colors in # 1 love it
