I captured this scene of sage and grasses receiving first light in the Owens Valley a couple of weeks ago. The clouds were not cooperating so i decided to focus on intimate scenes. This is a focus stack of three images shot at @200mm. Comments appreciated. Thanks
Absolutely beautiful! Have been following your Owens Valley/Sierra pictures recently, Dave, and all are great, but this one is magical to me. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dave,
The light on the grasses is spectacular, and the color contrast in the bushes really sets off the grass.
You know, I'm liking this the more I see. Maybe try this do a 16x10 cropping from the bottom and balancing out the 1/3 or 1/4 with the muted sage equal to the other 3 "zones" above it. Is there anything behind the trees, or is it a distraction?

Thanks for your thoughtful input. I see your point and I may try to play from some alternative crops. Yeah, the background above the top of the frame gets rather messy.

That's dazzling, Dave. I hope you had fun with Mr. G up there. Flowers out yet?
Thanks, Jeffery. Still a bit too early for flowers in the Owens Valley but they should be popping by late April with all the rain.
