  Thank you Irene! I had wondered about the heavy shadows of the clouds at first. Spread across the forest like that, but I think I like them because they ARE heavy and dramatic??? Not small annoying dots?

  Hi Steve!

Hey! I know what's new! Back in November I was actually appreciating heavy shadows! Ha! How about that!!! Who knew!?

And I named it VELVET!!! HA! I just used that word today again in another image. Uncanny really, since it's a rare word to use.

Thx for finding this one and commenting! -Laura :)

Glad you like this one! It was so pretty in person, too! (Looks kinda SMALL HERE!HA!) <--- The Canadian Rockies are MAMMOTH!

  It does look velvety! Are the clouds making those shadows across the rolling hills? Good thing you stopped & captured this! :)

  Yep! That was because of the Clouds Karen. I wasn't sure I liked this image at first because I didn't know if this was an okay thing to have in a shot. MASSIVE shadows from clouds but it didn't seem to harm the effect of the forests. My only real concerns are the back drop clouds blending in with the snow...What do you think? On the far right? I bet with a proper photo program I could fix that? If BP passes this up I might see what I can do to enhance or fix those areas.

Thanks lady! -Lala

  Just one word for you, Lala...CURVES!!! You are the Queen of Curves, so you should be able to do something with the blending! Why don't you work on making the clouds a little darker so they don't "blend" with the snow? That might do it. :)
