I added a few more sunrise shots from my Arches trip to my gallery. That place is just amazing. Thanks for looking and C&C welcome!

That's some serious color, John! Glad you had some good skies to work with. It looks like you want some seperation here between the immediate fg and bg mts, because i can definitely see the transiiton, but it might help if there was just a bit more tonal difference between the two layers. Might be tricky since you dont want to mess with the sky, but maybe selectively working on the shadows at bottom will work.

Really nice image. Definite keeper.

+1 on working the shadows as Stan replied.

Serious color indeed! Would've been nice to stand there and watch this play out.

Thanks guys! Tricky in deed... This is already the third iteration and this is the only area I am working on. It seems to have more separation viewed in photshop so I am wondering if the web compression might be messing with it. I don't want to go to light and blow the mood. I appreciate the comments.
