    Dawn over the Wah Wah Mountains

    HDR exposure of the sunrise from my camp spot in the Mountain Home Range of Utah. I then applied a curve layer.

    Overall very nice all around but I must say I wish the bush/tree was not there.
    Maybe increasing a bit the exp. a bit will help.

    Re: Dawn over the Wah Wah Mountains

    I like it a lot, to me the bush on the right adds foreground interest and perspective.

    Is the horizon level?

    I like that you put the horizon fairly low in the frame but the image might be even stronger if you cropped about half of the sandy foreground to lower the horizon in the frame even more.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: Dawn over the Wah Wah Mountains

    I too like the bush and intentionally used it for foreground interest and to partially block the sun. I could see maybe cropping a bit from the bottom but I wouldn't go too far. BTW: that is snow (from the night before) not sand. 90+% of the time I use a bubble spirit attached to my soft shoe for landscape shots so in this case I'm 100% sure that the horizon is as close as my bleery/blurry eyes were able to see the bubble at that hour!

    Bush is nice. Horizon looks level. Nice light in the foreground. Good shot.
