A magic light ... well edited. Great work. Regards.

Nice shot!

Thanks for your nice comments. My wife and I waited 2.5 hours for a sunset that didn't happen. We were fortunate to get this light, though.

This is an incredible shot, bravo 7/7.

 

Thank you for your comment on my Lake Katherine image. I can see how darkening the sky creates a dramatic sceen. I appreciate your suggestions.

 

All the best,

Janet

Thanks, Janet. We waited over 2 hours for the sunset on this image. This is the best that the sun got. I'm glad you liked my suggestion on your Lake Katharine image,

Really, really amazing, I love it. The lights and tone are so fantastic and magical. It's an obra maestra, Larry.

Beautiful !! Simply Beautiful...

I dream to see this places .

Thanks for looking at this image Roger and Zollner.  Tufa is a unique calcium carbonate growth that grows out from under the water.  Mono Lake just east of Yosemite in California has wonderful specimens.  I waited for the sun to set for three hours.  This nice light was a reward for patience.

One of the best image of Mono Lake I have ever seen. The light is really fantastic. And the lighted rocks really glowed and stand out with that deep blue tone of the water and the sky. Another masterpiece, my friend.

Thanks, Roger, for looking at this again.  My wife will testify that we waited three hours to get a decent image.  I value your critique.

Hi Larry.  I agree that this is a very exceptional image of Mono Lake.  I hope you don't mind but I wanted to post a cropped version as I felt there was a little too much water below the rock formations.  I also cropped a little of the right to get rid of that one bright cloud on that side.  For me it was taking my eye out of the image.  I also felt that without this bright spot on the right side that the lovely clouds on the left balanced better with the highlighted rocks.  let me know what you think.

Hi Paul,  To mix a metaphor, I guess it's a matter of visual taste.  I like your version, but mine also.  My reason for not cropping is that I like the gold reflection on the water.  The bright cloud on the right is an enhancement to me, not a distraction.  Either way, I value your contribution and comment.  The purpose of PN to me is to get us thinking about our images through the perceptions of others, so thanks.  I appreciate your help.

Amazing image. Tack sharp and beautiful colors.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Chuck.  My wife and I waited close to three hours in this spot to see what the light would do for us at sunset.  We got pretty lucky with the light.  I appreciate your positive review.     Larry

with dramatic sky.....thank you for sharing...best regards..

Sulung,  Thanks for your comment.  We waited over two hours for this light. Mono Lake was one of Ansel Adams' favorite places to photograph.    Regards.

Superb!

Tony, This was fun.  We stayed in this spot for two hours waiting to see what the sun would do.   Thanks.  Larry
