Some lovely work @Michael_Lowe!

A very fine collection here, Michael. I especially like the 2 water and rock scenes. Very nice indeed… :sunglasses:

4

Beautiful autumn colors, Michael - and the rock “lion” really grabbed my attention. Well spotted! I especially like how you have combined mist with the autumn colors in some of these shots. A great collection.

5

Michael, I like all these images to much. But the first one is IT for me . My first reaction was spontaneously WOW.
merry Christmas , Ben

Michael: I love the atmospherics in the autumn shots especially and the water images are exceptional. You may not have gotten out much but you took advantage of your opportunities in a marvelous way. >=))>

7

I think we know what Mikey likes from this collection. Excellent representation of what draws you in nature. Hope 2025 is just as fun for you.

8

Spectacular selection, Michael. Your landscape photos always draw me in and encourage me to wander. Thank you for sharing them with us.

9

These are all very nice, but numbers 1 and 9 really stand out for me.

Lovely set, Michael. Your misty mountain photos are always calming.

11

Michael: To be honest I’m blown away by your images! The colors are beautiful and all are so well composed. Really, wow!

12

These are excellent Michael. I really love the lion’s nose (waterfall)!

Hi Mike,
You surprised me; I thought you might put a couple of the dogwoods from Susquehanna SP in with your favorites from the year. I am enjoying the atmospherics along with the autumn colors in the ones from Blackwater SP. All ten are wonderful with my favorites being #'s one, six and ten. The evening light is exquisite on the redbuds in Susquehanna SP. I got nothing no where near as nice that evening.

14

Mike, yes a great collection of views. I’m especially attracted to those two redbuds and how they’re lit. The “lion’s head” rock is the kind of view that I thoroughly enjoy finding and seeing. Plus a many nicely moody fall color views.

15

Beautiful images, Mike. Makes me a bit nostalgic for the Michigan fall colors I grew up with, though I have to admit that my favorite is your Redbud trees, largely because the light is so wonderful.

16

Looking through these is like opening a treasure chest Michael; such beauty. It’s a wonderful collection. Happy Holidays!

17

Love the luminance and tones you’ve used in these. Very nice!
