Lone Rock, at Lake Powell

Thank you for your comments.

Very nice light! Those are some pretty clouds.

I think though that the grad line is too visible here, may be some selective dodging or levels adjustment could alleviate that.

Hey there, JC, how are you doing? Nice early-evening light you've caught here at Powell. Amazing how far the lake level has dropped over the past few years of drought. That bath-tub ring has to be 40-50 feet in the air now. A 6/6 anon. Cheers! Chris

Hey Juan Carlos, good to see new pictures from you. Great mood and strong composition on this one. And that's not to forget the beautiful colours. regards, Lennart

Fabulous beauty on this scene. I love especially the impression the lower part of that rock were a heating element causing the sky and surroundings get the warm colors.

Just an FYI, the strong coloration difference in the butte in the FG and the rocks in the BG is actually the result of the falling lake level in Lake Powell. When the lake was more full, the very porous Navajo Sandstone is saturated and becomes strongly bleached over time. Currently, Lake Powell has 12.4 million acre-feet of water in it, or 51% of capacity. At full pool, this reservoir holds nearly 26 million acre-feet, and would be nearly 100 feet higher. The effects of the long-term drought in the American southwest are clearly evident in JC's shot here. Cheers! Chris

Estupenda composicion, con una sesacional luz y colores. Felicidades.

 

Un saludo -Tolo.

Younes, Chris, Lennart, Markky, and Tolo; I want to thank you all for your attention and comments.

Chris you are absolutely right, the water levels are extremely low, and even though this makes for great pictures, I can't help but to think about the "not so nice? repercussions. I just hope that conditions improve in the near future.

To any one that hasn't been to this part of the planet, I really recommend it, here you can briefly gaze at the immensity of time.

 

Estupendos estos tonos suaves que dan una especial luminosidad a la foto. Saludos.
