That’s a glorious capture of the fiery early morning light, extra special as both FG and BG are unlit. One very minor suggestion would be to crop out the left-most tiny piece of sunlit tree (as it’s higher than its neighbor) - but that’s just personal taste.

Larry, the glowing golden trees stand out very well. Having some hints of light on the trees behind is a good addition.

Hi Larry,
The glow of warm morning light is very dramatic and works well with the unlit evergreens both in the front and back of that band of light. Beautifully done. If you don’t mind my asking where in the Whites was this taken?
