Thanks for looking. This one was just before the sun had fully crested the horizon, casting a beautiful pink glow on the peaks above. I used a 2-stop GND to bring out the stream and foreground stones. Exposure was about 1/2 second, ISO 50.

The comp. is spot on wonderful - as is the color and subject matter..
Marc,
I agree with Ned. Eveything works so nicely together. I have just one observation. It seems a little tilted to the left. I could be seeing things also.
I really llike this, Marc. It seems a little tilted, but that could be due to the slope of the mountain you are on? Also the darkness in the clouds and top of mountains is a bit bothersome to me - It helped nail this shot, but I can see clearly the line from light to dark in the mountains...... excellent composition as usual.
Clearly, I don't fine-tune these as much as I should before posting. There is a small tilt. IMO, I like the slightly darker peaks with the exception of the snow highlights. It puts more emphisis on the flowing creek leading to them. I pulled a lot more brightness out of the hills to eliminate the darkening from the grad, but I didn't like it as much.

THIS is what I'm talking about. It's a lot more balanced, visually (aside from the tilt).
