Sunrise from Wilkerson Pass
Here is a shot from Wilkerson Pass back on July 20, 2007. The morning sky was amazing from Hartzel to the Pass. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. Thanks for looking.

Canon 5D F16 1.6 seconds ISO 100

Feedback: I love how there's still detail in the shadows. That is some amazing color, too! I could almost see this as a pano crop, too, by losing most of the foreground.
Suggestion: Change the "z" to and "s."

Hmm, the clash of colors in the sky looks a little 'unusual' to me, not sure why since it doesn't appear that the image is oversaturted. I agree with Todd it would look ccol as a pano crop.

Very nice colors...ditto the above about making it a pano...

Thanks for the suggestions. I never really thought about a pano crop but I like the suggestion. Here is a redo. There were very minor bumps in the the saturation in the reds and magentas.

Looks surreal! I go over that pass about 4-6 times per month but am usually traveling west at sunrise. It's unusual to have this much cloud cover in the morning. NIce capture and I like the pano treatment.
