Last edited Sat Mar 21, 2015, 12:55 AM - Edit history (1)



shot this on my walk last weekend and wrote it off until i noticed someone liked it on flickr, so i gave it a second look (i upload everything i shoot).

no filters, no nothing. the more i look at it, the more i like it.

edit: the sky was colorado blue and the sun blinding when i shot this.

I like the way the elements are spaced--the shrub, the foggy sun and those mountains!

Very nice.

the thing about it is that the sky was a bright colorado blue when i shot this. it was a "for the hell of it" shot and i'm amazed at how it turned out.

I love it! The composition is nice, and it has some nice, rich, umbery tones on my monitor.
