On this early morning I watched the light change from moonlight to the morning pastels at Mono Lake.

Out right gorgous - this shoudl be placed on a gallery wall! The inclusion of the forground and the creamy gradients of blue mixed with that slight touch of orange/pink hue behidn the mountains, supported by those in the foreground is just - wow. A beautiful image to be certain - no critique on my part!

Hi Steven,
Fabulous. Right place, right time and it is a rare sight. The usual requirements for sunrise/cloudy sky shots is really dramatic when you can get an effect like this. The colours of the sky and the reflections in the water are superb. You were lucky to be there and we are lucky that you caught it.
Regards.
Stella

Hi Steve,

What a great photo you got! Wonderful colours of blue and yellow. I like the silhouettes and those branches in the front. Composition is in balance, too. Would have loved to see this even bigger. You got full 800 pixels to use :)
Cheers!

Hi Steve,
I'm not sure how I missed this one. The detail is excellent throughout; it's especially noticeable in the delicate detail of the salt-crusted plant. The colors are lovely and I'm very impressed with the amount of detail you gor in the tufa tower with your long shutter speed.

I wonder if Brittany knows that your pictures are on display?

Hi Steve! As usual, your composition is masterful. Very good foreground interest, the stuff on the horizon ain't too bad either :) The exposure is right on too.

I love the liquid lighting in this photo and the mysterious shapes in the distance. Very creatively executed; the frost in the foreground seems to emit its own light. Excellent work, Steve.

Regards,
Lisa
