Dolphin in the Sky

More from the Palouse. This was Jane's and my last evening to photograph and the lighting remained a treat through sunset. I missed the more dramatic clouds while setting up my tripod, but caught this one as it moved across the sky. Best of black to bring out the very subtle tones in the mountain (if interested in subtle tones in a mountain, of course).

@jgpittenger I lightened shadows a bit and think it helps. It shows up as so much darker than on my screen.

Amazing light. Really accentuated on black

That made me smile! It is a lot like a laughing dolphin, surfing over the waves of the hill.

Beautiful light, the mountain looks to be covered in rich velvet

Yes, I like that better

[Jane Pittenger]

I especially like the bit of green and gold light on the far hills

[eDorre]

What...me not interested in subtle tones? I giggled! Wonderful image!

[Taffy]

@jgpittenger Thanks for the suggestion! I think it looks a lot more interesting with the lower part having something to contribute.

[Marnie]

Love that cloud dolphin, such a happy colour. Im enjoying your Palouse shots very much and find the landscape of that area both appealing and unusual, must be interesting geologically.
