Mono Lake at Sunrise

[Polar01]

Down to Mono Lake in Calfornia last week, spent the evening and overnighted there to catch the predawn and dawn's light. The light and haze gave a purple and pink cast to the far hills, trying some different workflows and methods I have picked up to come up with one that fits me.

Cheers:

Beautiful, Allan. Great light. Mono Lake's one of my top places I've visited without a camera!!!

Lovely Allan. The amount of detail in the rocky growths is amazing as is the natural light that you captured in this image.

This place is on my list to visit as well!

Lovely colors and a very interesting shot.

I think that I would like it a bit better more closely cropped with the top just over the peaks of the formation and the lower just below the end of the reflection while the sides are cropped in a bit also.

However, there is no one cropping that is correct for any image. Show a dozen photographers any image and you will get twelve opinions on cropping that image...

I agree with everyone, including all of Richard's comments about potential crops.
