Alan, you certainly make it difficult to choose a favorite…so I will say ALL of them are! The Harris Beach image (as usual) is a gorgeous image—love the colorful sky and its reflection in the water. Very nice. The Grand Canyon sunrise is “grand.” Very nice. I like the Badwater sunrise and the colors it gives the textured foreground. Nice composition. The Monument Valley dramatic sunrise is a beautiful panoramic image. Very nice. And the Columbia River Valley sunset is a truly gorgeous panorama—a memorable sky. Thank you for sharing each of these Alan—you did good!It was hard but I did manage to find a few for the topic

I love each of these special images Craig—and the perfect titles! I love the “Sunglow” image—a perfect composition! Great colors. I really love the Dead Horse Point image, “New Day’s Energy”—a very, very nice composition and its title. The image, “Secret Sunrise” is another special image for the captured colors of the red rock and “blue” snow. Very nice. “Edge of Night” is a very strong foreground composition and well captured. Very nice. The title, “A Brief Intensity” says it all—very intense reds with the cooler mountains beyond. Nice contrast and very nice. “Succumbing to Nightfall” is another favorite for the red rock and snow paired together in this very appealing image. Thank you for sharing each of these gorgeous images Craig.

Michael, gorgeous skies you’ve shared—thank you! The Mt. Hood from Pill Hill image is truly gorgeous—love the abstract ambience of color and composition and a definite favorite. Face Rock is another strong centered composition but with varying offset elements. Very nice. I like the layers in the Mt. Whitney sunrise image’s composition, the distinct shadow below the peaks, and of course the gorgeous colors captured. Very nice! The Factory Butte image captures soft beautiful colors throughout the image. Love the light. Very nice. The Island in the Sky captures the opposite with strong bold colors throughout and another bold composition. Lastly, your other Mt. Hood image is well composed with the mountain and sky exhibiting beautiful light. Very nice. Thanks again for sharing all these very beautiful images.

Larry, I love your many sun-inspired landscapes, and thanks for sharing each of them! Very nice. I love the Cedar Breaks image with the sunlight striking portions of the landscape creating much visual interest. And the Arches NP sunrise is particularly nice with the rocky silhouettes below the vivid sky. Very nice. I love the Dallas Divide very colorful image of many colors—both the sky and the landscape below. My most favorite. I favor the Kendrick Park Lake for the beautiful sky and lakes colorful beauty. Very nice. The sunrise over Denver captures a gorgeous sky. Nice. The Birch Bay is another beautiful sunset capture—but one question, did somebody jump ship? Don’t see anyone in the boat! Thanks for sharing all these images Larry!
