This is a very large panorama of the Rockfish Valley taken early in the morning. It is definitely worth a full-size view to catch all the detail!

I'm not a big fan of panoramas, and I've finally realized that it's because form/composition is so important to me, and many panoramas just go on without any strong formal elements.

This, however, interesting composition as well as wonderful, delicate colors ... and it is oh! so beautiful!!

Wow. Great panorama Brandon. Looks like a sea of frothy water lapping at the feet of blue and green mountains. Wonderful. How many frames? I've posted a panorama taken in Ouray, Colorado. Like Marilyn I'm not a big fan of panoramas but sometimes you need one to give you the feel for the majesty of a scene like this one. Well done.

Best regards, Tom

Thank you Marilyn and Tom for your wonderful comments! I'm glad both of you found an exception to your usual opinion of panoramas. I took quite a few shots of this particular morning. I've posted two in the past, and there might be more coming out later. It was one of the most beautiful morning's I've ever seen. Tom, this one is made from 5 separate shots.

Sweeeet fog action. I agree with Tom, the fog makes this scene look almost a rocky inlet from the sea; a really cool effect. Malcolm

Thanks a lot Malcolm! This morning was a real treasure trove of photos -- my earlier misty shots of the Rockfish Valley that you liked were from the same session, at an overlook close to this one. Makes me wish I were awake for more mornings like this one!

Thanks a lot lazerman! It took waking up a few hours before I usually do to bag this shot, but boy was I glad I did.
