Started working on my images from trip to NANPA. This is a quick teaser made on a very cold morning from the Ruby Valley. Enjoy

Awesome! But are you willing to lose the contrail?

Certainly hints at the chill of first light on a winter day. More!

Love the layers... I'm with Jesse, please post more...

Awesome! I'm with Todd--you lose nothing by croppin the top--and you gain nice thrids.

This really has the feel of winter about it, awesome. I agree with Todd and Stan, you could maybe get away with cropping some from the top.

Very nice & rare glimpse of Basin and Range in winter. The light here is magic.

Brrr... I like the crop idea as well and definitely can't wait to see what else you got!

Nice light here Steve. The fog bank lends some nice depth to the image.

Agree with others on the crop, otherwise a fantastic image. You definitely captured the cold feel of the morning.

I'm a little agnostic on the crop, even though the image is kinda 50/50 right now. I just want to see that contrail go away. It's an unwanted intrusion. Like crabs.

Todd and all
I actually agree about the crop and Todd, I have others without the contrail which in this one is dissipating and I guess if you are really nit picking I agree it is less ideal

That is some sweet light, and the fog bank is a great addition. Yep on the crop.

The Rubys are beautiful, a not often visited gem. Nice image.

Nice side lighting Stephen, I'm on the cropping band wagon too. The pano format just makes it stronger.

Great lighting. I love the high mountain desert stuff. I like it!
