Image Details:

Nature at its best: A magical morning view of the West Spanish Peak in Colorado with stunningly beautiful Lenticular Clouds drifting above the almost 14,000 ft peak. To me, this photo feels almost like a painting, especially with the first (incredible) colors of the rising sun reflecting on the snowy mountain. The Spanish Peak is actually about 50 miles away and this image was taken with 500mm across the entire, vast Wet Mountain Valley!
