Thank you. I have to say I am not really happy with the rock wall as the first element of the recession. I think the sfumato, however is about right. I hope to keep trying this kind of shot till I get one that really does capture the feeling I have for these gentle nurturing mountains. I've lived in the Rockies as well and found them have beauty of a titanic and inhuman scale. Beautiful, awesome, but unforgiving and cruelly inhospitable.
