Old Photos Revisited

Since I have had far too much time on my hands as of late. I decided to look over some older photos that I have taken. Many of them date  back 10 years when I finally decided to join the digital revolution (I was a devoted large format shooter prior to that). All of these were favorites of mine at the time and still are, but my editing skills were less than stellar back then, so I felt a re visioning of these photos was in order. I would recommend anyone to go back to some older photos and see if they can breathe new life into them.
The above is from St. Vrain State Park north of Denver on a very cold winter morning. The massive Longs Peak at over 14,000 feet in elevation is off in the distance. A large raptor was a nice addition in the top of the tree
Autumn is one of the busiest times of the year for me and 2011 when this photo was taken was no exception. East Beckwith Mountain below Kebler Pass Road west of Crested Butte.
The magic of the Aspen tree in Autumn
The mountains of the Ruby Range above Kebler Pass Road west of Crested Butte during an exceptionally colorful Autumn
Mayflower Gulch in winter. Just south of Copper Mountain, CO with Fletcher Mountain at 13,958 FT in the background
looking at the opposite direction from the previous photo
Strange how the Aspens with the remaining leaves forms a triangular shape. Telluride, CO
You can tell I love Fall colors. Another one near Telluride, CO
Trout Lake near Telluride, CO. I bet that water is quite cold.
The mighty Crestone massif of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains with a full moon. A total of five 14,000 foot high peaks in this massif. Many Semi-technical to technical climbing in these mountains
As you probably can tell that none of my photos have a readily recognizable common editing style, each photo is edited according to what inspired me and how I felt when I took the photos, each photo reflects my experience at the time of taking it. Though my workflow is the same everytime. The only commonality with my photos is my attempt to make them have a film like feel, as this is what I got my start in, however not all of my photos end up with this treatment. Comment on which ones you think got that treatment in this article.
