Wow Dustin, you've kept us from viewing this for 2yrs! This really is a fantastic photo and the weather conditions really are a once in a life time event. It's definitely a winner!
Dustin,
It took you too long to share this image.
The portrait orientation works really well for this comp.
I really like the way you framed it, balancing the image with the foreground rock and beautiful sky formation on the top right of the frame. The post-processing is top-notch!

I know what you mean. The 1DS Mark2 was insane. Some images had 1000+ or specks!
Love the shot man. Crazy conditions.
I think it would benefit from lowering the luminance of the sky some and leveling the water. Great shot!
And some people are complaining and crying about the Nikon D600 and a dust issue? Many people are crying and acting like a camera never had any dust issues before... How soon we forget...

Really? Maybe the camera gods' decided that since i put up with the 1Ds for several years, i get a pass this time
Hey Dustin,
My D700 was fine when it came to dust, I thought it was the best Nikon camera to date in regards to the dust on the sensor. It's only issue was I didn't read the instruction manual fully to learn before hand that the D700 could not swim...
What a super cool shot you found here. Those are such amazing clouds... wow... out of this world almost... I will have to check out Bench Lake when I am able to make it back up to Washington again.

was with a 1Ds Mark2 and literally the entire image side to side, top to bottom was loaded with thousands of dust specks. It took me literally hours. I made a Photoshop grid of every square inch and then simply worked at each square inch at a time. About a half a day worth of work, done right. Today, in the worst case scenario on the new DSLR's maybe 20.
Here is a 100% zoom of the raw file to give one an idea...
