Two images from the Eastern Sierra workshop really stuck in my mind.  The first was Mt Whitney Alpenglow.  It was posted a couple of days ago.

The other is a beautiful, simple image I took at North Lake.  In fact, I think it was the simplicity that caused it to stay with me so strongly.  It was the first composition I saw and one I worked very slowly and peacefully.  You know how you get that glow after you capture what you think is a good photograph.  Well, that’s the way I felt after this one.

There were a number of elements that came together – the rocks, grass, the water and reflection of the rust colored peak.  For me it captures both the serenity and grandeur of this very special place.
