Photographer's Note

This is Chrismas Meadows on the northern side of the Uinta Mountains, Utah. This photo was taken on a warm autumn afternoon. Just the opposite of this photo taken on a cold spring morning from this same location.

Wow what a shot Ryan.... All the colors are very impressive. The river makes for such a good line in the frame. It also represent all seasons for, fall with the yellow, green for spring, blue for summer and of course the white snow for the last one.

Beautiful shot, well done.
I like the perspection created by the river.
Moreover, colours are really bright, with good saturation. And the light is uniform and contonous on the whole image.

Beautiful shot Ryan. I love the way that the river leads you into the landscape. Not too much sky and the Velvia / Polariser has really enriched and saturated the colours. I'm not too keen on the frame as it wastes pixels that the photo could take up. However 10 out of 10 for the photo. Paul.

Lovely image. Great composition with the river drawing the eye into the valley and on to the mountains. Great exposure and colour also.
TFS Cheers, Paul.

Great scene Ryan, the point of view on the courb bring depth into the picture, what give us na idea of the immensity of this place, colors are strong, particulary the ble of the river contrasting withthe golden grass. All is very sharp, well composed. Well done

Hello Ryan, stunning landscape combining all three of nature's greatest elements: earth, water and sky. The meandering river flow really shapes this shot and draws the eye to the snow peaked mountain in the far distance.

Trčs jolie courbe formée par la rivičre, trčs belle profondeur de champ et cadrage ok: Tout ceci donne une bien belle image.
Bon travail!

Hello Ryan,
Nice landscape well deserved by your picture.
The foreground river adds a nice contrasty blue curve in the composition.

Floydian (30970) 2006-06-03 9:21

Oh yes Ryan, the same location, but under complete different light.
The other could not be overruled, although this one is also excellent.
Utah is so beautiful, i am really looking forward to my stay in Sep....!!!
Have a nice weekend,

Also very well done. So bright and sharp, so rich and warm west autumn colours.

Quite a contrast with your other shot of this place, Ryan! Beautiful rich colors--the creek is a remarkably deep blue. Nice composition to take full advantage of the place. Regards, Ken.

Very beautiful place!
Excellent colors and composition!

luisafonso (862) 2006-06-03 16:58

Wonderful Ryan. I have a dream of photographing the same place at different seasons and you are starting with a huge advantage! :) This one is also lovely. I prefer these golden summer colors. Guess that living in a country so full of Sun has something to do with his. The composition is perfect. The reflection is not as strong as in the other photo, but this one has that left tree perfectly visible. It is a simple detail but I love it. Muito boa meu amigo.

Hi Ryan,
superb landscape, the compo is excellent.
The light is very different than your previous shot of this place.
I like the curve of the river and the colors.
Well done

Hi Ryan

Another awesome composition. You definitely have excellent talent. The colors intertwine nicely here with nice exposure on such a bright day. The shadow on the right shore seems a bit heavy but it does not detract from the shot and really could not be helped with this light. Nice work!!

Hi Ryan,
You are a true master of landscape shots ;) Your composition leads the sweeping river into the majestic mountains at exactly in between the valley. Fantastic lights and colors. TFS!

Well this posting of yours really stands out in an amazing way. The perspective of the river leading the eye to the distant mountians is really nice. Excellent work Ryan!
