Sunrise Storm

[JimFox]

Before the clouds closed down in my previous Bryce Canyon post, there was a storm happening at sunrise which made for an interesting look. I shot this one tighter to get in closer to the action in the background. It does feel a bit off balance to me, but this is an older archived shot so I don't recall why I composed it as I did. The best I can guess is I was either too focused with the storm or I was trying to balance the light and rain on the right with the hoodoo's on the left, but I honestly don't remember.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Beautiful capture Jim.

Rare for a monsoon storm so early in the day before any heating takes place. This makes the valley beyond the Bryce amphitheater look far more interesting than it usual.

I like this one

Really nice Jim. This is one of those images that can really result with a screwed up white balance but it looks like you nailed it! I love the bold contrasts of skies and foreground.

Jim,
Very neat with all the varying contrasts. I also think this would be really neat with something like a 6x17 crop or close losing some off the top and some off the bottom.
Regards,
Dean
