Marlboro Point Sunrise
I was up extra early this morning to catch the sunrise at Marlboro Point. I think it payed off :cool:

C&C welcomed. Thanks!

Wow, you lucky DOG! (Of course, luck only applies to the sky conditions. The rest is you.)

Beautiful! Awesome clouds and color. Definitely well worth the effort.

I would say it paid off...big time!!! Great capture here!

Wow, great light and clouds! The lower left is a pretty big expanse of bare rock, though, and you might see whether a 4x5 crop works a little better. But it's spectacular in any case.

Beautiful light and clouds! I do have to agree with Jackson. I think the large rock on the left pulls your eye away from the beautiful light and rock formations on the right. Maybe a tighter crop or like Jackson said a 4x5. Otherwise very beautiful! :smile:

I've never been to Marlboro Point, where is it? I'm assuming near Grand Junction. I might be passing through the area in February and this looks like a cool place to visit. Thanks Blessings, Deb.

Great winter clouds and nice red glow on the right side cliff. Must have been a nice moment to see this unfold. My inclination would be to have less foreground rock on the left and bottom, and have more sky.

Absolutely beautiful!! You should be very proud of that one. Nice work.

Great composition to go along with that nice light. I like those two areas of light hitting the top of the cliffs, adds a nice second accent of light.

Wow--real pretty sunrise. Wish there was more of the bg canyon and less of the fg rocks tho...
