I think yesterday's pic and today's are beautiful pictures. In the heat we've been having... they are cooling!
I have one comment... which I wrote yesterday... and lost it before I could post it. That comment is not meant to criticize... but only to offer my, and my alone, point of view.
I was a little bothered by the yellow in the clouds and the mountain snow. (as I sometimes do... just to practice my own personal skills at PP), I decreased the saturation... just a tad... and slightly adjusted the vibrance in the other direction. I also tweeted the haze filter... which makes things pop (IMHO). and/or... used the HSL yellow adjustment for the clouds and mountain snow.
Just another's take on your stunning picture.

Thanks James, I am just waiting for some sale prices on metal, acrylic or glass prints.

Beautiful image that belongs on a wall. Photoshop the phantom out to make him or her a real phantom.

Thanks pmsc, You think the park service would us build a cabin in the parking lot?

That may be even better than yesterday's shot. Beautiful. Now. Why not photoshop that bloody photographer out of the frame.

Thanks Barry, I will try your suggestions as I have not settled on a final PP and I sometimes hit the reset button and start for scratch.

Thanks Chief, The sunrise sky is about 2 stops brighter than the land. Some say correct in PP but using an nd grad filter gets you in better starting point in your PP. If you underexposed one part of the image you introduce noise and create a loss in detail. ND Grad filters are a landscapes photographer best tool.
Fantastic capture and great information about grad filters, Thank you!!

Thanks Joker and does he does not have a permanent spot as I am still weighting his worth in the composition. I take months before I settle on final PP

I got so many shots from the first two mornings at Oxbow it is taking time to sort all of them. This is from the second morning and my phantom photographer hung in till I left. I used a Lee 2 stop neutral density graduated filter on all my landscapes.
Beautiful reflection!
