Thank you all for taking the time to comment on my photo! Wilkerson Pass is west of Colorado Springs on highway 24. It's the road I take when I go over to the Buffalo Peaks area or to Fairplay, from Colorado Springs. The heavy haze that dawn lowered the moon's exposure value enough to hold its detail. #1719304

August 15, 2005

I agree that this is an great shot. The clutter on the right hand side drew my eye immediately. Looks like buildings or something. I would clone them out to really make it an outstanding shot. #1721325

Tom Schmitt August 15, 2005

Hi John, thanks for your comments. I decided to leave the tiny buildings in for scale. But now that you have brought it up, what I could do is darken them so they blend in better! I'll try it on the next set of prints. #1721407
