One comment said, "Could you take a bad picture here?" I'm sure the person did not mean to be insulting in any way. But, I do find that comment to be very naive. The dynamic range of this scene was about 10 camera stops. So, if I had not used the soft grad ND filters, the sky would have been blown out and/or some shadow detail would be lost. Capturing images in the high country of Colorado is not as easy as it looks.
