There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
Spectacular, I feel as though i can reach out and touch those flowers, it's like a movie camera ready to pan the scene, i will look at this a while on my desk top. Top Job, Darryl. Dwight.
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
--Bertrand Russell
Beautiful composition, almost like a painting. Looks like you put a lot of thought into this one - not that you don't always - and it's really paid off. Excellent work :-)
absolutely incredble and breathtaking... that's just wow... I mean... Darryl.. don't you ever get sick of taking amazing pictures? ;) 10/10 and again into favorites :)
Nice framing. I like the different colors around. This picture makes the air seem to clean and fresh. I like that you used the black boarder on the top and bottom. It kinda makes me focus in on the photo more. Good job. Its very nice.
Ditto what neez said, Darryl, beginning with "OMG I missed this one." 10/10, lots of kudos, thanks for sharing, and sorry I didn't find this beauty sooner. :)
Your depth of field in this shot is extraordinary! It looks too well-focused as if it were generated. The colors are spot-on and the composition is beautiful. You scored with this one.
For not being a "bright light" composition but rather on the subdued side, it is gorgeous. Love the beautiful tree trunk on the left and your splendid capture of it's texture and colors. The pine trees stand out with their subtle streaks of highlighted white in the branches. The fireweed received the same treatment and gets the same kudos. Excellent work from a true artist.

Although there are many points of interest in your photo, my eyes kept going back to that water. Good composition and the lack of distracting light spots makes this image top-notch, Darryl. - Patty
Very good composition! Realy nice angle you used here. The colors and sharpness are also awesome. Don't know anything else to say about this, just a perfect view! :)
