Standing Tall Over Crater Lake by taffy

Standing Tall Over Crater Lake

Just ending a wonderful adventure with @jgpittenger, @rosiekerr and @jyokota -- a great 365 meetup in western Oregon -- about to head home on a ridiculously early flight in the morning but finally have access to Internet. This was taken on our first day in Crater Lake National Park -- a gem with the clearest water in the country, according to the park rangers. Tests have demonstrated you can see more than 100 feet into the lake. The colors are quite surreal -- an unreal brilliant blue.
Thank you for putting my shot of Lake Trillium on TT. It's been intriguing to think of the beautiful scenes we've seen in b&w.
Perfection!

And what a trip it was!

What a fabulous composition. Hope you will put something up in colour from this trip too sometime, those colours sound amazing. But this really suits B&W. Very Ansel Adams.

A powerful image in b&w but from your description of the colours I also want to see what you actually saw. Sounds like a wonderful trip Taffy and I can’t wait to see your images so that I can imagine standing beside you! I love it when you take me to places I know I would not be able to reach! Fav!

Oregon is such a beautiful state, this photo is so intriguing, I’m assuming it is a petrified tree trunk. I know your meetup was wonderful and I look forward to your photos.

Amazing shot of nature... Fav

This is a really stunning capture with the detail in the foreground and the dreaminess of the background! What a perfect twisted root to a tree I'm guessing, just in between the two background hills, and the expanse of the water really make this a stunning shot. What a great reminder of the fun you've had with great friends. :)

I think black and white is great for this. It would not have the same power in color. The black and white seems to accentuate the tree. I'm blanking out on the photographer who said this, and even though he was speaking about portraiture, I think the underlying principle works here too- when you photographer people in color, you are photographing the color, but when you photograph them in black and white, you are capturing their soul. The black and white captures the soul of the remains of this tree.

I really like the detail in foreground rock and snag and choice of b and w. I’m not sure what I would do different and it may just be being on 365 but it looks a bit flat to me

Fabulous in b&w, but I'm hanging out to see a colour version.
