Just Before the Storm

As the storm closed in on Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge as the sun dipped below the horizon it got under all of the clouds and really lit up everything. I thought about cutting the saturation on this a little but decided not to because the light was so colorful. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

Moments like this are indescribable. One just has to stop everything and take it all in. The sat looks good on my monitor, and very real. Beauty!

Lovely colors, Richard. You also did well keeping in not letting the foreground go completely black as is best seen in the larger version.

Fabulous light!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe lacking in composition a bit (more of a grab shot) but totally worth processing and posting! :toast:
