Wildflowers And Waterfall in the San Juan National Forest, Colorado

Here's an image from this summer that I've processed recently. The dominant wildflowers are Queen's Crown, Rose Crown, or Redpod Stonecrop (Clementsia rhodantha, Sedum rhodanthum, or Rhodiola rhodantha). I used a 2-stop soft grad to balance the exposure between the brighter foreground and darker background, and a 3-stop solid neutral density (ND) filter to lengthen the exposure to blur the water. The long exposure required lots of patience to wait for the flowers to stop moving in the intermittent light breeze.
