This was an image I captured a few years back while fly-fishing the foot hills of Capital Reef National Park. The area is know as Thousand Lake Mountain and is located North of Loa, Utah. I had just woken up to the sunrise cresting over the horizon. This area has a strange natural pollution like atmosphere that allows for the some of the most significant sunrises I have seen. The sun is almost centered on the horizon line and the shoreline of the lake. There seems to be contrast between the existing darkness of the foreground and the newly risen sun in the horizon. You have the multiple vectors of the image. The Horizon line, tree line, and the body of water. These could also play into the rule of thirds that allow the eye to be drawn to certain points in the image. The diagonal rule is most noticeable within the position of the lake. I was located in the bottom left corner of the lake which positioned the lake at an angle to the horizon line. If you follow the shoreline to the horizon you can faintly interpret some of the red rock formations of Capital Reef.
