The Mountains from Black Elk Peak, April 17, 2004

My first hike up Black Elk Peak, and here is a compressed telephoto scene with some fore-middle-background elements. The middle is the weakest part, but I do like the zig-zag feeling I get from the rocks in that portion. The foreground gets some edge lighting to showcase the jagged rocks, while the background fades into softly rolling hills. Pretty simple arrangement, but I'll take it.
