Here's an image that has never appeared elsewhere :) It's from my trip last month to Glacier NP as the fires were (and still are) raging. The unusually brilliant sunrise is due to lingering smoke, clearly visible above the mountains at the far end of Lake MacDonald.

Love the gradual change in color tones within the mountains as you look back, and the rest is pure icing! :)

The colors are surreal! It's like something out of my dream...not, my dreams aren't this good! :-)
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.

The first time I looked has this I thought the reflections were some kind of digital artifact. On second look I noticed they were reflections. The color is awesome.

Ethereal! (I can only imagine what the original must look like.)

Only question would be if you tried a bit more USM selectively on the blues in the mountains? I'm guessing that the original has much more detail than we see here.

Another familiar looking image. :D

This is one of the best from the first batch I saw last week, which is really saying something given the competition.

Wow! This is terrific, I was there for a couple of days last week and the smoke was so thick that there was never a sunrise, just a gradual lightening of the solid grey. Visability was so bad that I couldn't see the other side of the lake.

Your shot is georgous.
