Strawberries +edit

[AlanLichty]

Not the kind you eat unless you have a pretty extreme appetite

This is the Strawberry mountain range in eastern Oregon as seen from US26 heading towards the town of John Day from the east. Taken on an early May visit a few years back. Single frame cropped to 16x9.

C&C always welcome.

Edit - new crop with Jim's suggestions:

After the title... I might now be hungry enough to eat this! I had been pondering how you had photographed some strawberries...

I would consider cropping this some more to lose the bottom 1/3rd of the ground layer to lose that brown area in the grass at the bottom. Maybe go for an extreme pano at 10x20 and lose some of the sky as well?

Thanks - I kinda figured the title would catch you out

New crop above with less foreground and sky.

The edit works better. I wasn't aware of Strawberry mountains and was wondering if you are delving into food photography.

Thanks Jameel - if you ever have the time head west from Baker City on OR7 towards Sumpter. There's an old mining museum from gold dredging days where you can wander around the old machinery including one of the dredges. From there keep going west and join US26 which will take you right past this view and then down the John Day River heading towards the Painted Hills and the Bend area. The mountains are a designated wilderness area in the Malheur National Forest.
