Just after sunrise the morning after we arrived in Sedona. Very very cold!!!
But the morning light can't be matched. The rocks almost glow in it.
Three images combined using HDR.

Still hanging on to a low 7 at 135 votes. With all the great images in this challenge I don't think a low 7 will crack the top 3.
Getting a few comments about over saturation. These rocks appear to glow red at times, especially in the early dawn light. I processed on my laptop, but I think it is pretty accurate. I'll have to check on my home computer when we get back home.

OK, back home now. Looking on my good monitor, it is a bit on the reddish side, but I will say these rocks in the dawn light it's not too far off. It only appears that way for a few minutes in the direct sun. Even though there are clouds in the shot, the sun behind me was unobstructed.
Post challenge - I had a feeling that a low 7 wouldn't ribbon in this one. Some awesome images in this challenge. Thanks for the votes and comments.
Another "7 not ribbon" to add to the collection! ;-)

I know what you mean about the rocks red glow. I was there a couple years ago and I remember the beautiful glow the rocks had in the morning and evening light. I love your HDR rendition of Bell Rock I believe.
I probably would have bumped this to a 10 if your red rocks were quite so "red"...just pushed a touch to much...(mind you I gave you a 9) your picture is stunning
