Nature's Paint Brush (#unleash)

Sometimes a telephoto lens works well to zero in on features in a wide grandiose landscape. The mineral deposits are more pronounced when wet, the reddish color is from iron, the yellow from aluminum and the black manganese.

Thanks Zac. This place, the Painted Hills, is part of the John Day area, a few mile NW of Mitchell Oregon

This is so beautiful! (It's actually quite calming, too, with the smooth lines and colors)

    I've been meaning to do a first post for a while. Thanks to Ian et al for getting this rolling, i hope it will be a first rate location to learn, be inspired and share so we all grow and develop in our shared passion :) Below is an image of Buacheille Etive Mor - a lump of rock at the entrance to Glens Coe and Etive. It has a charisma most mountains lack. I wanted to portray its resistance to everything thrown at it - it is shot thousands of times a year, but often with adornments and additions from the surrounding landscape. On this day I felt it owned the image all by itself. So, critique and comments are more than welcome. thanks for viewing

    Hi Ian/everyone, this is my first time posting in this forum. This image was taken in South Island NZ for a morning sunrise. Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 24-70mm lens F2.8; focal length 28mm @ ISO 100, F7.1, 1/30sec. This is a three exposure image, edited in LR and PS. Thank you for your critique. (Mary Jo Gomez-Jackson)
