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.
