Emerald Lake Sunset

[JimFox]

This is Emerald Lake in Rocky Mountain NP. It was cold with gusty winds and very fast moving clouds. It is a fun cool place to shoot, and one that I plan to get back to and shoot the stars from later.

All thoughts are welcome,

Nice color and I like the green ice here.

Beautiful scene - nice cloud colors and that greenish tint to the water is a neat contrast to the snow and the skies.

Thanks Ben! That green tint to the ice was pretty cool.

I appreciate that Alan! Yeah, it was nice to see the greenish tint pull out of the ice, everything is frozen solid up at that altitude and it was in the lower 20's up there. I don't often feel the need for using the heat packs, but I definitely had to keep 1 in each glove to keep my fingers from going numb even in my insulated gloves.

That looks cold !!! The color in the sky and the green tinge in the water adds a punch to this image.

Nice shot of one of my favorite place in RMNP. Did you need snowshoes to get up there when you took this?

What Alan said, Green.

Nice color palette in this. I'm always a sucker for green lakes and you got some nice light in the sky.

 

[BarryHamilton]

Sweet shot, Jim! I too love the color palette and especially like the colorful back-lit clouds beyond the peaks.

Thanks Jim, glad you liked it. I had snowshoes with, but never needed to put them on. The trail was beaten down enough that it wasn't an issue.

Hi Jim,

That is a beautiful lake in the snow and for having a beaten down trail the lake looks pristine. I've only spent one day in November in RMNP, but apparently it's the place to go when the Sierra is a forsaken with drought.

That tinge of green adds just the right touch to this beautiful scene, Jim.

Man Jim, that is pure magic. I can only imagine it under the stars!

Wow, and all the comments above. A gorgeous place.
