Snohomish Sunrise

Taken in the Snohomish Valley in Washington State. I really like the clouds in this and the way the light is hitting the grass in the foreground. Colors look better in the original as I think the compression isn't helping. Please view larger version. Looks somewhat better.

C&C welcome and thanks for looking!!

Definitely needs to be seen large to appreciate what you've done, Michael. I too like the light on the grasses. the wonderful clouds, and all of the various reflections in the water. The starburst and light rays are nice too.

This is wonderful, Michael. I really enjoy images like this that make me feel like I'm right there seeing it...this does that! The large version is the one to look at! :smile:

The large version looks great Michael. I really like the sky here and the warm reflected light on the water. The right hand side seems a bit dark, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Indeed, an excellent sky. I like how even though this is an WOW-a-licious scene, it still invite the viewer to enjoy and contemplate the quiet, peaceful mood.
