I was in Crested Butte a few days too early for "peak" fall colors, but I got some interesting weather to make up for it. I've tried for years to get a good shot of the East River Valley, which winds around the east flank of Mt. Crested Butte. Lighting is always the problem since the close-by mountains make sunrises and sunsets an uneven affair with bad shadows. With just enough sunlight and an incoming storm, I timed it perfectly- ten minutes after this was taken it was dumping snow outside!

Personally - if I had to choose between blue skies and peak color or dramatic skies and near peak I would take the latter. My only nit is that I would task Content Aware with taking out the power lines.

Yep, I know those are there... but I don't believe in removing (or adding) things that were originally in the scene.
