Your images continue to inspire me and make we want to go back (when the wind isn't blowing 40-50mph!). Thanks for sharing these!
Too bad about that wind, Al! That's a common challenge in DEVA. We were lucky this time that we managed to avoid it almost completely — which made the wildflower photography possible.

More wonderfully lovely images Dan! I'm planning on visiting in November so I'll miss both the lake Manley and flower opportunities. But I'm still excited by your images and am looking forward to my first visit.
Thanks. November is a good time to go there, especially later in the month when the weather really cools down. And there are far fewer people at that time since it is kind of between seasons.

Dan, you got some incredible images....just love the way you PP these Thanks for the inspiration, will have to sneak out this coming weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
If you are there this coming weekend, I'd bet that you'll still have some wildflower potential. When we were there (last week of February) the flowers were really coming up at the lowest elevations, but the show continues at higher elevations as the season continues.
Thanks for the comment on the post processing. Post-processing is a substantial part of my approach, but my intend is usually to try to not let it get out of hand. Though, of course, there are lots of different and valid thoughts about how far to go, and I've seen some beautiful work that was probably more deeply processed than mine.

These are wonderful. I love the subdued colors in the first four photos.--Eric.
Thanks. The thing about the color palette of Death Valley is that most of it is pretty subdued, at least during all but the most colorful sunrises and sunsets.
