vertical format Morning Light

This photo was taken along the Eastern Border of Yosemite National Park. Low hanging clouds over the High Sierra Crest (created by an unusually cold weather) were lit up brilliantly by the rising sun.

All comments are welcome. Thank you.

7/6

Very nice image!

Very pleasing to look at, the colors aren't overdone.

Jay you caught a bit of magic in this light...Well done.

Beautiful. I like the clouds shadowing the tops of the mountains while echoing their warm glow.

JAY, This is a spectacular shot!! 7/7 to begin saying about it! Then comes depth that added by the trees and valley exposed so well that we feel the vastness of the place, drama added because of light on the clouds and mountains.Just a superb shot, a true landscape shot jay!My favorite out of all your shots!! 7/7!

Beautiful light! On fire and smoking! NIce asthetic perspective. Nice job!

Amazing shot,great light!!!

very pleasing shot with a fantastic light

Stunning shot with dramatic interplay of light.

and the morning that greeted Jay was lovely ( or did Jay make it lovely ?! ) , well done ..

This is nicely exposed with the perfect composition and colors. I think it is awesome!

Once again I am compelled, and more than a little jealous! ;)

Stunning light. Wow! Beautiful picture!

 

IMHO..I am not convinced about the white border though...distracts.

Thanks everyone for stopping by and taking time to critique this photograph.

Tuhin: It was really cold (~40F) that morning and windy (~20mph wind) on the ridge that I was standing. And there were sporadic freezing raindrops that forced me to hold my hand against the lens for protection. By the time I was done taking photos my hands were frozen. And I agree...It was one the most beautiful and breathtaking mornings!!

Great shot, regards...

Nice colors.. 7/6

moment of nature's glory captured in style. fantastic light.

wonderful scene Jay. i allowed myself few clicks to illustrate my suggestions here. what do you think? regards,

Thanks for the suggestion. I do like the higher contrast in the ever greens.

Beautiful light is illuminating the Image, good composition. Very nicely done Jay. Pnina

Superb alpenglow.

Life is hard for the mountain photographers :-) with photos like this we know why we are doing this.

Very large spacial coverage in this shot. I like the feeling of distance you've captured. For me, lighting and cloud cover hanging over the mountain rim-line is icing on the cake.
