Pikes Pink
by Joshua Hardin
The image above of a vivid sunrise at Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods (as seen from the Mesa Overlook in Colorado Springs) was shot on a Velvia slide that I only recently rescanned. I had gone to the Garden to photograph a possible view of a full moon setting behind Pikes Peak at about the same time as the sunrise. The cloud cover prevented a good view of the moon but the sky was unique in its own way. I had to correct a strong orange color balance that was coming from a cloud directly above glowing with the day's first light, but I think I've got it close to what I want. Comments and critiques always appreciated.

10 commentsI love the layering of the comp and the sky looks great on this end.. I am debating lightening the FG up to the mountain clouds a bit......but I am in a bright room no so lets see what others chime in on that. Spectacular sunrises and you captured it very well!!!
