Sunset on the Gunnison
« on: January 12, 2016, 11:20:08 pm »

The high today was 0F here. Not my first choice of weather but the sky had potential and I heard there was a big ice flow upstream earlier so I decided to brave the cold and have a look after work tonight.
No sign of the big ice flow that 10 miles upstream was raising levels 5 to 8 feet like a flash flood. Not sure if it hadn't hit yet or maybe had dissipated by this point in the river. Glad I went out for this sunset anyway, even if it is kitsch.  :D

The flowing water gives some speed to this quiet, "end-of-the-day" scene.

I really enjoy the second picture here. Very pretty. The aspect ratio really brings it out too. :)

I like both. The vertical favors the pink, wispy clouds. The horizontal favors the river. Well done.

Another vote for #2. IMHO a much more powerful image. Thanks for braving the cold!

Thanks! What I really wanted was the #2 shot but with the moon which wasn't possible in a single shot with the lenses I have. If I had a wide enough lens the moon would look tiny in it too. I also took some frames to stitch and try to get a composition like that but I'm not sure if it will work.
