Nice set up for his beautiful shot Debbie. Love the lines of the cattle ramp paralleling the sides of the cliff face. Great color and the road leading you into the shot works great. I am always impressed with the clarity of your mountain scenes. Everywhere I try and shoot it seems I run up against smoke or haze.

Michael -- This summer was a lot of smoke and haze where we went as well. Didn't get nearly the shots I would have expected to get. I was pretty happy with most of the images I took this fall but still such a big job getting rid of extras and trying to distinguish through similar images. I have never really figured out a good work flow to get my files down to reasonable sizes.'

Sure have seen a lot of these in my recent travels. Didn't get to see the colors changing like that though. So glad you had a good time on that trip. :o)

Debbie, what beautiful scencery where is this? for me personally I find the torn out gate a large distraction. But I find the right half very beautiful with the leading line toward the mountain. I would crop it to just the right half.

Beautiful sky in this one. Like Rita, I like "c" curve leading line taking us into and through the image.

What torn out gate Rita? I was ready to hit the hay, now I'm pouring all over this super image trying to find it. To my eyes the only gate at the bottom of the track looks fine, or are you thinking the the 'loader' is a gate? You must be a city girl! A cattle loader is a ramp made from timber up which one drives the cattle into a trailer. May I be permitted to say that far from being a distraction, this bust-up loader tells us the story of this once being cattle country and of course the reason for Debbie's image title.

Peter-- we all see what we want to see in any image. Rita likes the landscape and it is a beautiful place to take in what we see here. I am glad she likes the right half of the scene. I did shoot one without the loader but knowing what was just out of range on the left hand side, left me with just a medicre image. The strength and uniqueness of the landscape begged for the cattle loader to be included to tell the whole story. Glad the rest of you like my choice of foreground. To each his own. And by the way, Peter, this may not be the cattle loader this rancher uses today but this is BIG time cattle country. I fell in love with all the ranches dotted with cattle and backgrounds of amazing mountains emerging fall color. And Rita, this is the start of Ohio Pass that winds up from the Gunnison Valley to Crested Butte and beyond -- to Ouray and Silverton.

I just looked closely into the image and I do see a falling down fence post that is behind the loader , further into the image on the extreme left-hand side of he cattle loader. Is that what you are seeing? It would be easy enough for me to remove.

no I was referring to the cattle loader now that this city girl knows what it is. For me it doesn't add to the image. but as was spoken I am a city girl at heart and the scenery is more interesting to me. don't you just love it when we have difference of opinions

Our differences is what makes.us interesting to each other. How boring this group would be if we only agreed with each other.

I love the colors and clarity in this. It looks like a lot of cattle have been through that ramp.
