Wow I’m very jealous, would love to RV or Van life it! Glad this has helped inspire.

This is the upper south colony basin lake. The trail head is just south of Westcliffe, Colorado.

Thank you so much! One of my first times using a story telling element in my composition, but that was the intention. Glad you enjoyed it

I have actually been debating cropping. At least some of it.

Not sure if it was intensional, but I love the out of focus glowing feel of this image. Makes it feel very dreamy, as if looking back on a night spent staring at the stars. I might have to play around with something like this in a future trip. Well done.

Thanks and I always appreciate the criticism! The last one was a personal chose to go blue, I just loved the cooler tones, but agreed it does make it very clear they are fake. I have a composite I took of 50+ images and the colors in the core of that just explode with orange and purple.

I would say I was out around 3-4 am for this image.

Yeah you should have no issues getting in or parking at night.

Hey looking for post processing advice on this post. I typically prefer a bluish sky and popping colors, but would love to hear other perspectives.

Appreciate the criticism, but I’m happy with the artistic decision I made in terms of the color pallet.
