[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is number four in what is becoming a series of sunrises at China Camp State Park. The first, second, and third are here. This park is great location for sunrise shots and better yet it's only 10 minutes from my house! After a few weeks of foggy weather the sun was able to break through this morning. The shot includes 3 ND Grad filters stacked together. There is probably a better way to do this, but I'm still a novice at using the grads.

PP: Levels, USM, and no Saturation believe it or not.

At first I thought it a skillful use of HDR, but you nailed this image with the ND filters. Nicely done. Great composition and colors. Nice detail on the rocks in the foreground, and the bands of color looming up in the background. Bravo!
