Morning Rising

by D.A. Edwards

Gallery: LandscapePosted August 10, 2015171 views5 comments

Yesterday morning at a lake above 10,000 feet on the eastern side of the Sierra. I'm not sure if maybe a squarish crop would be preferable... I tried to provide some interest in the lower left by dodging the underwater rocks there quite a bit but I could see cropping just to the left of the pair of trees on the far shore. Any and all comments or suggestions welcomed.

Overall I enjoy the image and I find it to be well processed.  Maybe a bit more separation between the stump and the peaks,though?  I don't know if that could have been achieved without levitation boots but it's just a thought. Nice work.

I really like this. I think Bret's suggestion is good but without a ladder not possible.

The color is wonderful, and you did a great job processing this, Dave. I would suggest a crop about mid way between the tree on the left edge and the group of trees to it's right. The reflection, and the water look real nice.

Just curious, but where is this lake?

I like it as presented. Works well for me. Glad to see some of the Sierra lakes still have water in them!

I like it as presented, Dave.  Looks like a sweet place to set up a tripod and perhaps throw a fly.  Nice.
