Oxbow Bend Sunrise

Going through a few edits from the fall; Sunrise at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton NP.

Canon 7DII, 17-55mm lens at 43mm, f14, ISO 250, 1/5 sec.

Hi Paul

A beautiful morning captured here. You have a lot of foreground here with only a hint of a reflection that could have been made a lot stronger if you had of used a much longer exposure. I have a feeling this is hand held however and maybe that wasn't an option..? The stronger reflection would have justified the inclusion of so much FG, while at the moment I think you could comfortably loose at least half of the presented. I see a bit of noise in the image and the trees on the far side of the lake are not as sharp as I might have hoped for. Shooting to the right of the histogram and then correcting in post would help with the noise here..

Don.

Hi Paul...good advice given by Don for making the most of this scene at the moment of capture.

I would make this more of a Pano crop by taking some canvas at the bottom on the image.

Like the colors.
