An afternoon shot of fall color on Snoqualmie pass going over the Cascade Mts. just off of Interstate 90 near Lake Easton. I used my 85mm soft focus lens. I like the painterly feeling it imparts to an image.
Hello Michael....well, you have a certain style dontcha? I knew this was yours before I saw your name on it even! I love the softening effect...and the wonderful colours reflecting like that...such a warm photo! very nice!
Going barefoot is the gentlest way of walking, and can symbolize a way of living.It's the feeling of enjoyment beneath our toes...it removes the barrier between us and nature...(AdeleCoombs,Barefoot

Great image you have here. The colors just grab you as soon as you see it in a sheet of proofs. What a library you must have if you were able to drag this out at this time of year.
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.

Hey Michael, I just wanted to congradulate you on your selection as Artist of the Week! I thought I'd do so while providing some feedback on one of your images, since that's supposed to be the purpose of this whole spotlight system :).
This shot is wonderful, I love the effect of your soft focus lense, and the color is un-paralleled. I like the slight disturbances on the water's surface too. Thanks for sharing this great capture.
I wish you the best of luck and fast recovery for your upcoming surgery. Take care!
Hi Michael, this image is simply stunning in it's beauty! The beautiful lemon golds with the complimentary brown tones are exceptionally appealing! Your professional capture of this scene is superb! Yes, I agree with you Michael, that this image does have all the qualities of, and does suggest to me a masterful painting indeed! Sincerely, Marilyn
This photo came up when I logged back in this evening. It caught my eye immediately. I looked at it full screen but even the thumbnail was pretty. Fall is such a beautiful time of the year and you certainly have displayed it's beauty in this photo. I think I see two rings in the water where fish had surfaced, probably to take in the breathtaking view which you have captured so well. Great work, as usual, for you Michael.
