This is an unedited sunrise photo of the stunning scenery of the Mono Basin Scenic Area which is located immediately east of Yosemite National Park, Mono is the westernmost basin of the Basin and Range Province, which stretches across western North America between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

I admire this one so much...What do you think of Ansel Adam's work? Do you often crop or prefer to shoot as you want to leave it?

I think not using a tri-pod helped this composition by bringing more of the foreground into the composition. Thank you very much for the "All Star" peer recognition.

beautiful, natural color; that subtle color palette is what makes it.
