Sandy, you did well with the challenging light. The tufa towers have nice detail, and the clouds look great. Looks like it was a breezy day on the lake. It is also evident that the lake level has risen. I remember when the small tower on the left was high and dry. Nice job here.

Sandy, nice take on Mono Lake. Great clouds and vibrant colors. A fine tufa portrait.

The clouds are fabulous and I like how the tufa shapes duplicate the clouds. I think this image may be a tad oversharpened(the land looks a bit gritty). The colors are vibrant here without being oversaturated. The clouds are the main thing here and the tufa complement them well.

Fantastic sky Sandy. Those tufa's are amazing too. Joe and I were there the first week of September but did not have a fabulous sky like this.

Sandy, I like the sweeping shoreline leading into the scene, and the texture of the clouds is really great. I agree with Igor that it looks a bit over-sharpened.

Sandy,
The clouds here are fantastic. I would even say they look painterly. A well composed and excellent image from Mono Lake.
