Man, you are gettin' it done lately! This is incredible. Can you give us hints? Elevation range of the lake, or the prominent peak? North, central or south part of the state? Sunrise or sunset? (I'm guessing sunrise.)

Uhhhh,
:confused:
Is it the back side of Longs Peak, with Green Lake in the foreground.

Regardless, I really like the light. Nice one Jody.

Cheers,
Alex

According to Google Earth the lake is at 12,172 feet, yes it is a sunrise shot, and it is north of I-70.

I have no idea, but I really like this image! Great light!

Does the lake have a name? Or the peak? (Don't tell us what they are, just give us a clue whether or not these are named features.)

Never mind. I know where it is. E-mail offline on its way. :wavey:

Great photo with a lot of drama. I have a mild apprehension of very high places that this almost triggers. My guess is that it was no easy task to be there at sunrise.

I wanted mostly to compliment the photo, but will take a wild stab at location. It reminds me alot of the terrain near the ridge dividing the east and west sides of the Indian Peaks, maybe near Arapahoe Pass.

Todd is the only winner so far, I will give the rest of you a hint it is a 13er.

Great shot Jody. Shouldn't Todd be automatically disqualified having shot from just about every vista in the state? :wink: Instead, we should have a special contest just to see who can stump Todd!! :biggrin:

The light gives wonderful depth to the image and does so gently. Super sweet shot!

This is Ice Lake located to the south of James Peak, with Mount Bancroft and Parry Peak in the background.

I had no idea about the location, but it's a sweet shot! The foreground interest is fantastic, as are the clouds. Very nice!

I haven't a clue about where, but I can say I love the Comp & Color! Wonderful work! :toast:
