McGee Creek

I took my in laws on a whirlwind tour of California since they have only seen their section of urban and suburban California. I stopped by McGee Creek several times with a storm over the White Mountains being the best show. All comments welcome!

I love the color show with the virgo in the sky in that first image - sweet light. The mountains seem a little on the stark side in the second one which is quite the contrast to the neat foreground flowers and visible green on the lower slopes.

Oh man I love that place. I used to go there 2-3 times a year back in the 1960's and 70s. Mostly for fishing and camping. No camera in those days. Loving that second shot.

Hey Tim, a very cool cloud in #1, but I agree with Ben I am loving #2. Those are some sweet wildflowers set before the typical summertime Eastern Sierra peaks.

You can smell the Eastern California atmosphere in these. With the second, my favorite, I might try with a darker foreground, envelop the shadows of the image, maybe even dodge&burn the FG.

Both are beautiful, imho the first would be stronger with less FG.
Great work.
