While photgraphing the sunrise at Bryce Canyon NP a few weeks ago, I turned to my right and saw these formations appear to glow from within. I only got a few frames before the light changed. Velvia & Nikon gear.

The term grabshot is not always derrogatory, this by your admission is a grabshot and a very nice one, we do not always have the time to plan a shot, sometimes we just have to be fast and lucky. Pat

You were definitely "in the right place at the right time." The diagonal ridge with the sunlight makes a nice composition of what might otherwise have been only so-so.

Having been to Bryce earlier this year myself, I find this shot quite nice with the right mood and color. However, if I had time to re-compose it, I would tilt the lens a little lower, eliminating about the top 15% of the image which is quite dark and including a little more from below.

Good eye for light. Post some more.
