A Winter Morning with Pikes


Garden Of The Gods Park, Colorado Springs, Colorado
It always seems that the morning after a snowstorm is often the best time to photograph here in Colorado, the air is always so pure, crisp, clean, not to mention beautiful. That was the case here with Pikes Peak in the background. I just love the natural contrasts I guess, and this place is one of my favorite locations with it's majestic and unlike anywhere else, landscape.

I hope you all enjoy it

WOW! :wow:
When I first saw this piece I could not do anything but stare!
The morning you shot this it must have been gorgeous and I can really feel that from the image. The piece by it self is simply stunning! The colors are superb! The lighting is perfect, everything is just amazing! I especially love the angle of the image, it adds a really nice touch. The entire image is truly amazing, I do not think I could ever even try to critique a piece like this =P.
The one downfall of the image is it is not really original, but it takes away so little when it is so amazing,

Great work!

:+fav: Faved!

Best,
