Desolate Reflections

Desolate Reflections



Desolation Wilderness, Ca.

This is the same unnamed lake as my last two shots from Desolation Valley.  For this shot I tried to simplify the scene to focus on the reflection more.  I chose to go vertical - as I always try to do unless the composition is better horizontally - in part because magazine covers are vertical ;o).  I think it draws more attention to the center of the image and it keeps my eye on the most dramatic part of the sky/reflection.  It was an amazing sunset that evening but the reflections were what really made it special.
