Sunrise

Another image of a sunrise in the Fitzroy area in the Argentina Andes. The weather was bad but somehow the rising sun could reach some parts of the mountains creating nice patches of light in the dark landscape.

Beautiful Chris, love the comp and range of light. I see a little haloing around the big mountain, it doesn't really bother me but it might be an easy fix.

A wonderful image, Chris. The golden light on the foreground formation is just gorgeous, and a great contrast with the cool background shaded areas. Nice work!

I like the tele compression of this scene, Chris. Sweet light illuminating that lesser peak. For some reason my eye wants to follow the light out of frame to the right. Perhaps zooming out slightly would fix that but pretty nice as is.

The warm/cool contrast is the hook. Very nice! :cool:

Stunningly beautiful shot! I love the light, and the play between warm and cool. My only suggestion would be to crop just a HAIR from the top, but it's not a big deal.

Majestic scene Chris! And of course, that golden light tops it all off...

Those fangs along the ridge are so utterly inhospitable and foreboding. Yet the warmth sends a feeling of peace and pleasure. Well done. I like the mtn. outline in the mist on the right….discovering it sent me on a search for more. Well done!

Seriously good light, with a great foreboding crag to go with it. Nice!
