Jeff I usually find I get better shots about 15 mins before the sun comes up rather than after it has arisen. I think your shots demonstrate this. The only tine I find shots work just after sun-up is if there is significant cloud around the horizon.

+1 to Greg's comment...also I prefer #1 shot because of the colour and the textured clouds too.

Nice series.

Dave, I usually find this to be the case as well. .... I also added another variation of the pre sun..

Great shots Jeff. Particularly love the first one. The clouds are just amazing. I just seem to find the rocks right at the bottom on the right slightly distracting.

Yes, I was wondering about a crop from the bottom; or a mix of crop and clone?

This is another shot in the series without those rocks...

Here is the shot with just the one series of rocks left in...

Now I feel like something on the right is missing maybe try leaving the top set of rocks and only removing the ones at the bottom.

Because there is nothing to anchor the scene to the bottom without those rocks. Just my take on this ... but what do I know?

Lovely shots I find original of #1 better than the other shots of the same location. I also like the light and the PP work in this shot. IMO eliminating rocks creates an image without an anchor point.
