Or Sleeping Lady as she is known locally. Taken last Saturday night during a break in the seemingly endless overcast.

I see her...

It's great when the clouds lift at sunset and you can see some color in the sky. I think the upper part of the image does not add that much and a nice pano crop would show off the sleeping lady bathed in color. What do you think?

I understand your thoughts on the image, Dean. I would agree but I just can't give up the color transition in the image. I do have one from the same night of Denali and it does lend itself to the crop you suggest as the sky in that direction was more of a uniform color.

So I have attached it here.
