Solitary Sunrise

I was the only one watching this sunrise

in a less frequented area of Grand Teton NP near the

String Lake canoe lauch.

I really like the log in the water. The clouds are very nice also.

Super capture. I agree with Kerry.

This is a very challenging subject to photograph because it is very difficult to take a '3D' picture with a '2D' format. That is why someone like Ansel Adams was such a master. Much like you, he waited for the right lighting to cut across the scene because this helps give the picture the highlights and shadows it needs to add that third dimension. Initially the eyes are drawn to the mountain and trees. Then the eyes move to the right and are brought back to the original spot by the log cutting across the water. The angle of the clouds complements the other angles. It looks like a freekin' postcard!

Wonderful lights and composition. Congratulations

The eye of a professional.Could also be in B&W,just like legendary A.Adams did with his Hassies.I would only burn the trees and sky a little,to add more drama.A beautiful image.

Miles, this is a gorgeous image! Excellent composition and exposure. Very, very well done. Great warm light too. Cheers! Chris
