    Hi Lance, sweet image!Alot to like here. First off you picked a good foreground with well pronounced leading lines that carry you forward into the image. The mountains are nicely layered which forms an interesting middleground and finally a starburst sun with a subtle ray coming right at the viewer.
    Beautiful early light along with well framed composition. Very well done Lance!

    Love the foreground rocks and texture, then the mountain layers really make the image. Good Job!

    Lance, Most of the comments cover my thoughts on this very well done image. Breathtaking was my first thought. I love the early light, star burst, single ray light, the mountains with just enough to distinguish them from each other. Good colors and well placed rocks for the foreground. A winner.

    Can't say more than was already said. This one really works. I love the fact that you were able to successfully get an interesting FG, MG, and BG and expose it and frame it perfectly!

    Stunning image!

    If desired you could use the Brush tool with Color blend mode to minimize the red color flare on middle rock face without effecting underlying detail.

    Tip-when using the Brush tool hold the ALT/Option key to change the brush to an eye dropper, thereafter click within image to select foreground color. Use as above.

    Best,

    Chsa
