Absolutely gorgeous. I need to get down there some day.
I must admit that I do find this composition a little right heavy due to the lit up mountain and the larger FG rock being on that side. However, the FG rocks are also like a mirror image of the mountains against the sky in terms of the basic shape, so I do like it for that. I think the only thing that I'd recommend is cropping off about an inch from the bottom, so that the large rock on the right is right in the corner.

Nicely composed. The rock pointing to the peaks is perfect.

Nice handling of the gorgeous light!
Great colors and comp. Love the subtle clouds in the sky and the subdued rocks in the FG water.

What a scene to wake up to! Brilliant work, Ricardo! I'd say keep them coming. It's an amazing location and your images do it justice.

Another powerful photo from there by you. Nice job on the exposure, and the clouds on the mountains are great.
