 I changed my entry at the last minute, I hope it was the right choice. I woke up saturday morning drove 5 minutes to this spot and just waited. The fog kept rolling in and then lifting, then just as the sun started to break the horizon it cleared just enough. This was shot from La Center, WA looking southeast at Mt. Hood. Every time I look at this image I want to stretch my arms and yawn. I just love the way the sun rays are pouring over the edge of Mt. Hood. I hope you all like it too..

Wow! This is an amazing image... the trees, the clouds, the fog, the single peak... beautiful! I think you deserved a ribbon. Great work!

What can I say, stunning scene. Great work with the sky and star burst. To be honest, I fell the composition could have been stronger, but I do not know the limitations you were under when shooting. To me, this is a scene that would be benefit from more scenery on the left or right with then sun left or right. If I cover the screen and crop three finger breadths off I feel the scene is more dynamic, with the light, clouds, mist, and mountain drifting off to the right, as if they are starting the day together. Overall very pleasing photograph with room for growth. Cheers!

Stunning scene.

I love the fog in the foreground, the composition is lovely, a great depth to this.
 12/08/2008 03:37:02 PM
Maybe let the sun go down a little more next time I like the overall composition though.

THAT's how to capture a sunrise. Breathtaking. Did you use a star filter on this or are those crepuscular rays?
 12/08/2008 01:53:46 PM
If only I could afford a smoke machine that powerful!
