Thanks!

A #1 choice! Thanks for the feedback and yes, the landowners appear to cooperate willingly AEB the white arrow on the barn (the arrow is the AT symbol). Thank you!

I agree, I love light like this as well. Well done!

Thank you Alan. The 2nd is my personal favorite as well and one I posted on my IG acct yesterday. Sometimes it is hard to pick just one so I shared several. Different eyes and perspective opinions are always welcome :)

From my previous post, here are a few images facing away from the sun. This was along the Appalachian Trail at Cross Mtn (around 34-3500" elevation) in TN just before you get into VA. This was from last weekend, Friday evening to be exact. During this short trip, I had planned to do some more...

Thank you Jim :) I have a few more from this location to share as well.

I love the framing on this. It brings the eye to the focal point, the wonderful light on the peak. Beautiful capture.

You did well to salvage a workable shot. All too many times, I go out and wait....and then nothing. The clouds disappear or completely block out the light. Good for you for working the early images. Sunstars are always nice ")

Thank you kindly :) I like your thinking :D Appreciate the kind words.

Thank you Alan :) It was a nice, peaceful spot at around 3400' elevation.

Both are spectacular! You should be very pleased. I am partial to #1 though just barely....the tighter comp seems to focus on the light, the tetons and the reflection.

Just got back from a partial week spent in Shady Valley, TN. Not a whole lot of photography done but I did get one day up at Cross Mountain where the Appalachian Trail passes through. Caught some great pastels as the sun set and as I was hiking out, I turned around for this view. I thought...

Thank you Alan :) Yeah, I remember struggling with cropping or keeping it and I reasoned keeping it would be best in case I lost my original file. Better to have too much than not enough for printing.

Continuing with Big Bend National Park. These were from my 2nd to last trip to the park, 2 sunsets, same view point. Sunsets are always gorgeous in the desert. Being able to provide water in the fore/mid ground and mtns in the background just add to it along with excellent light in the sky...

Also note, in image 2 you can see the mudflats where Terlingua Creek flows into the Rio Grande. This creek/river is wet weather only.

yup, the Rio Grande. YOu can literally walk across in places. The river converses the southern border of our park (and our country) the entire 70-100 miles. Mostly at Boquillas, because there is a permanent town, you will see hand made goods along trails with signs saying to buy arts/crafts...

All of these images were taken winter of 2015 except the last one which was summer 2012. The cottonwoods don't turn colors until Dec/January. If there is some moisture/rain, the desert flowers will bloom in any season or so it seems. I appreciate the feedback :)

Interestingly, there are 3 significant canyons in BBNP. Santa Elena at one end, Boquillas at the other end of the park and Mariscal Canyon. Mariscal is WAAAAAAAY out in the bush. A 3-4 hour jeep ride down a remoted rugged 4wd road along the Rio Grande then a nice, long hike to the overlook...

Now for several images of Santa Elena Canyon in BBNP. This canyon is carved by the Rio Grande with sheer cliffs rising well over 1000' on each side. You can walk back in there maybe 1/8th of a mile or so. It is quite impressive in person and you can almost touch Mexico. This first 2 is a...

Thank you all for the comments! Much appreciated! One day, I will get around to printing one of these, probably #2 now :)
