Was able to squeeze in a sunrise shoot while in the area for work. Might have to reprocess these when I get home. this was done on work computer instead of the home PC
C&C always welcome

    Like the way the sun is catching the mountains in #1. Nice general mountain scene - just need to clone out the spot in the sky.

    I like the second one for the contrasting lighting and testures between the mtns and foreground. When you cropped and straightened, you left a white spot on the upper left edge.

    When you come to a door... walk through it.
    If it's locked... find an open window.

    One of my most favorite places. Very beautiful area.

    The first is my favorite. I think the second needs a bit of processing to darken the sky and maybe bring the level up on the foreground.

    Thanks for the feedback I was stuck in a hotel room so I thought I would try some processing on my work laptop. Now that I am home I will rework them. have some HDR to do to

    I think I know where you were. Not a bad place to be. Maybe not so much in the winter time.

    I had one sunrise in Lone Pine I almost missed it kept hitting the snooze, they were filming a Firestone/Bridgestone commercial up on Movie road. They were staying in the same motel, they stuck a schedule on the door of my room. Was really shocked to see the list of people involved in that shoot.

    Really beautiful both! - I personally like the first one more.

    Agree with cloning the lens spot and cropping the white on the left of the second one.
