Light of Mordor. Edited

Hey guys!
I had a lucky chance to go to Dead Sea, to shoot sunrise, thanks to @Levy Davish (who drove us there), it was quite a spectacle, totally worth 2 hour drive each way, and 3 AM wake up.
But ill let you decide:

Thank you for viewing, pls feel free to C&C.

Just a small clarification, this is shot toward Jordan mountains, in the area close to Neve Zohar, its close to the Hotels reserve, this part of the DS has a lots of partitions, and is separated from the big sea, its a beautiful area, but a total ecological disaster, due to heavy water pumping and mineral harvesting, the water levels dropping each year, leaving huge sinkholes and leaving entire beaches uninhabitable...

Outstanding light - well worth the effort! That's the most unique shot of the Dead Sea I have ever seen.

Thats some interesting chemical deposits there. This is a very different image and very nice.

 

[Carlo Didier]

Just WOW!

It was worth it! What a cool scene, I like the distant mountains just barely being seen too.

Thank you Alan.
It is to me too, its been a while since i've visited DS, and back then i was only starting photography.

Thank you Ben, its all salt deposits, which will be probably harvested later by the DS industries, killing this amazing place for profits.

Just WOW!

Thank you very much Carlo.

Beautiful shot! I think I would lighten up the foreground a bit, to bring out the color and details in those mineral deposits.
