The larger version has some amazing detail. This scene must have been a sight to behold in person.

Wonderful luminosity and color. The clouds clinging to the mountain peaks are fantastic.

Ricardo,

Fantastic and remarkable view; what a grand landscape. Love the color and the extended diagonal of the earth's shadow (or cloud combination.) As alternative, how about a panoramic crop, removing much of the foreground slope? I think the pan format would work well to compliment the long diagonal of the cloud/color in the sky. Just a thought.

Great moment that I'm sure you'll not soon forget.

Lon

Thanks guys!

Lon: i didn´t had the chance to shot a pano of this because that light lasted just a few seconds. I´m not a big fan of croping to much but i´ll give it a try, maybe the pano crop will enhance the sense of "grand landscape" you mentioned. Thanks for your words man.
