AKA - Why I'm glad I looked behind me. As I was taking photos of the storms to the west, turned around and saw some great colors, so switch tripod locations right away.
This is from the 2nd night I was camping. These are in chronological order, from late afternoon to sunset.

North (Late Afternoon Clouds)


West (Storms in the Valley)


East (Mountain Colors)


South (Last Rays)

Beautiful set John. I particularly like the 3rd and 4th one but all are nice.

Hey John,

#2 is my favorite here, there is an elegant simplicity to that shot. In #3 and 4, I think the blue's in the sky/clouds have been pushed too much. Desaturate them some so they turn back to a more gray color.

Really like the series John. Looks like you had some great conditions. 2 and 3 are my favorites.

Nice job. In my opinion the second one is the strongest, followed by number 3.

Thank you all for the feedback. Really glad you like them!
The contrast between #2 and #3 really was crazy. Taken only a few minutes apart. One minute I'm looking at the storm clouds to the west. I look behind me and see the really intense orange behind the mountains to the east. Always look around!

Good stuff -- I like 2&3 in particular, sweet captures. The sky in 4 is awesome but otherwise the composition is awkward to me.

These are all good. The first and the third are my favorites. The snow on the mountains really adds to the scene.
