Yellowstone Lake Sunrise

I got up early to see if I could chance upon any wildlife around sunrise. I found a herd of bison sleeping and grazing along the road and near the lake shore. While waiting for any reasonable light to get some shots of the bison, the sky over the lake started turning brilliant colors as the sun approached the horizon. So, I changed lenses and took some shots as the sun rose. I cropped some off the top and bottom to make it a partial panaramic.

Very nice layers, Mark. I feel a crop off the top bright portion puts even more emphasis on them. Nice catch!

Hi Mark, Beautiful colors and reflection! I too like the idea of a crop down to where the clouds start making more of a panoramic. Very nice.
