Wow, Chris, you are here so much! Thinkin' about moving here? I love seeing your awesome shots in places I recognize.
My favorite in this gallery was the 2nd to last on the 1st page, with the yellow flowers going up to the mountain. I really like how it leads your eye into the picture, and I really like the lens flare. Gives it a very real feeling, like you can imagine yourself in that spot.
Thanks Tori! The In-laws live in Spanish Fark so we are usually up there once a month or so. My wife gets tired of all the driving but I love it. Every weekend I am off and about looking for something to take pictures of. This weekend, I took a trip up to Cedar Breaks Park just east of Cedar City, UT. I also visited Yankee Meadows up Parowan Canyon. Here is a link
Beautiful pictures, Chris (in both galleries). You captured the warm autumn colours really well. Perhaps I can go to the forest or the dunes myself this weekend to capture some autumn colours, before it is too late...
By the way, I noticed that in some of your pictures the sky is dark blue. I really like the effect. Did you use a polariser or did you do that in PP?

I used a circular polarizer and under exposed the shot by 2 stops. It almost makes the sky go black! I love this effect, especially against the white aspen trees without their leaves. Thanks for the nice remarks.
