Eric, a very nicely timed image from this area with the release of the water back into the Owens River yesterday. Your image gives us a small taste of just how nice this entire area is. Nice job! :smile:

Eric,

Dramatic light and nice image. I'm particularly drawn to the far trees in the lower left that give this image some scale. While the sky and mountain range are a bit flat, the light in the foreground more than make up for it.
One question, because you've got me all turned around. If this is a sunrise image, then you must be looking north and the mountain range must be the White mountaines. Is that right?
Thanks,
Lon
