Alpenglow on Long's Peak: Fine Art Landscape Photography

While waiting for a dawn shot in Rocky Mountain National Park, I was blown away by the way the first light on the horizon lit Long's Peak and the foreground pines while yet allowing the stars to glow in the dark sky. Alas, by the time I was able to set up the shot in the rapidly brightening dawn, the sky had brightened enough to hide all but a few dozen stars. To recreate my initial vision I have created this composite image, using an image of the night sky from another night. While not a factual representation of the sky when I shot Long's peak, this fine art landscape photography print faithfully recreates my vision and awe at that initial sight.
