Yellowstone River at sunrise

I was attracted to this scene by the rising mist and color in the sky

Hey Dale,
Had to go to the desktop and check this one B4 I commented.......I love 90% of the image as the mist an colors are outstanding......but as presented the sun is too hot/blown and draws the eye too much. I hope you can go in and tone it down some because the rest of the scene is just so beautiful. I do wonder if going to f22......and trying to get the sun into a starburst may have worked a bit better......heck.....I'd even try blending a second exposure of just the sun/brighter areas to try and make this one work.....it's that nice!

Really nice, serene image Dale. Very calming as most sunrises are in Yellowstone. I really like the mist on the pond and the slight ripples in its surface. I agree with Roman about the sun and its reflection being a bit too bright for the rest of the image. If you can tone them down some, I think this can be a super image.

I agree that the sun is too bright and overwhelms the image. But the rest of it has wonderful potential.

I agree with the above comments.
