Rainier avalanche lillies
Photographed on the trail to Mazama Ridge, Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington in August 2010 with a Nikon D300 and Nikkor 18-200 zoom, settings unknown. This is layering of two images, one focusing on the foreground flowers, the other the background. Image processed with levels, curves, unsharp mask, and clone tool with Photoshop CS. The wildflowers were late this year on Rainier when I visited but I was still treated to plenty of the early risers, white avalanche lillies.
