RMNP sunrise today
I hope someone else (Erik?) got to see the sunrise in RMNP today. This shot is from Sprague Lake looking southeast. The sky was incredible. It was one of those times you wish you could be in many places at once. Another photographer I bumped into later mentioned that things were really great over Longs. I couldn't see that from where I was at. So, if you've got 'em from RMNP today, post 'em. Please.
40D, Tokina 12-24. Blend of 3 exposures. Comments on the blending most appreciated.

Very nice Paul! Great foreground!!I headed up to Cub Lake for sunrise and really didn't get anything with color. Man, I wish I had been at Sprague Lake!

This is a great shot Paul,
This is the type of shot you pray for when you drag yourself out of bed in the wee hrs of darkness.

Awesome image Paul! The foreground is as powerful as the dramatic color.

Great blend and composition.

After looking at the clouds over the Front Range this morning, I knew I should have been up in the mountains, rather than installing a new dishwasher. :frown:
