Wild Iris and Sierra Sunset

Description

This photo is a Finalist in the Outdoor Photographer's 2nd Annual Natures Color Contest! Here --> [link]

I spent weeks walking around through these fields trying to find the best area to get a nice composition of a large area of irises with the Eastern Sierras in the background and trying to capture some unique lighting. I went out to these areas on so many sunrises and sunsets trying to capture some clouds in the scene but sadly the clouds would either not be there or dissipate by the late afternoon. But, luckily, toward the end of these iris's bloom season the clouds decided to linger and I was able to capture this sunset light over these beautiful flowers.

Owens Valley, Eastern Sierras, Ca.

First off, I'll this is one of the most gorgeous landscape photos that I've ever seen. It's pictures like this that inspire me to pick up my camera, and travel the world.

I think the most attractive thing about this photo is how the background and foreground give off different aspects of color, but blend together. The flowers give off a soft air, and the sky gives off a strong feeling. The clouds are ominous, and the forest is homely. It's rare to convey so many emotions in one picture.

There's so much going on, but it all seems to blend together and catch the viewers eye. "A picture speaks a thousand words." and this picture is no exception. If anything it screams it.

With a nice title, this could easily be a prime candidate for a movie poster. I'm not the most savvy photographer, but this piece of art definitely catches my eye.
