Cerro Pedernal..

[Dean]

Todays Friday Focus had me looking back at images I made on a run through New Mexico a few years ago with my wife. We are big fans of Georgia O'keefe and we were visiting her home and studio in Abiquiu and the Ghost Ranch. Here are 2 views of Pedernal one of her favorite subjects with some summer monsoon skies. All comments welcome and thanks for viewing Regards,
Dean

Very nice Dean! I am glad you came across these. Both look great in B&W but especially #1. Such awesome clouds in it.

Very nice imaging, Dean.

The first one has some great skies but I like the flowers down in front on the second one a lot.

Great skies.

Real nice, Dean. I especially like the first - it really speaks to the NM landscape.

Beautiful and dramatic, the second stands out for me more.

 

[Amy Earl]

Love that second one. The white daisies render really nicely in b&w and complement the other lights and darks in the scene.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Beautiful work Dean, both are great images, I guess I am partial to the second with the flowers.

Love the B&W take on this area, and really is a cool part of NNM. I need to spend more time up that way.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

Very nicely done, Dean.

 

[Amy Nelson]

Incredible story here...what an inspiration

 

[Dean]

Thanks, everybody for the additional comments... This was an old thread that was revived NM is a magical place!
Happy Holidays everyone

Very nice Dean. I love the first one in B&W but not to sure about flowers in B&W... Maybe I am bias because I love flowers like this display in color....
