Very nice comp and cloud color, though the darker tops of the rock are a bit distracting. I assume it's from blending?

Agree. This is a single exposure. Actually the rock tops were darker, just the way the light was. I'll work on lightening the tops a bit with a luminosity mask. Thx for the feedback.

Thats pretty crazy you can capture this with 1 exposure. I'd need 3 for sure! It is a very left heavy composition but the colours and detail are both great.

Beautiful image.

Any chance you could you tell me where in the Garden of the Gods you tools this from. I am visiting Garden of Gods for the first time this May and was looking for some photography advice.

Thank you
Chris

Manu,
Very nicely done! I think the sky needs less cyan more blue...

Hey Chris,
Only a few standard locations in GotG. http://www.springsgov.com/page.aspx?NavID=2006 the location Manu shot from is after the parking lot by area marked "1" on the Juniper way loop, there is small parking area on the road if you road the split for "Garden drive" you've gone too far.

thanks everyone.

Chris, like Sunny said, once you pass the the first parking lot keep driving and you'll see a small parking area off the road.

Here's a pano taken from the same location that gives you a better feel for the location.

Sunny, thanks. I went with a cooler temp on this one which may have contributed to the more cyan.

Here's the same location with a warmer temp.

Hey Manu,

Nice work with the edit, it definitely makes the rocks look better. That is one cool sunrise you captured.

Stellar light. I don't mind the left heavy comp, there is enough interest in the right side to balance it, imo. Gereat work on the re-edit.
