 This was taken on a relatively cold day here in Colorado. This natural area is exciting to visit every month of the year. In the winter Bald Eagles frequently pass over these small lakes, while in the spring and summer it's real colorful.

For post processing on this image I did levels, black and white conversion (obviously!), brightness/contrast then dodge and burn.

underrated.

4.97...that's a little harsh, but I guess it happens.

Excellent comp. I think a little more contract couldn't have hurt. The rock in foreground could pop more i find.
