Sunrise, Bryce Canyon, Utah, 2006

I underexpose this sunrise to abstract the image, intensifying the rich colors of the sun as it sends a single beam of light through the clouds, as well as illuminating the sky. Nature hides the sun itself, and I hide details of the earth and clouds in turn. What is left is the essence of the scene – the power of light and color.

Genesis. A good word for this image. It is nature summoning its energy and power to begin a new day. I am glad you used the word "majesty" == the rays coming off the top of those clouds suggest a crown.

A mesmerizing interpretation of nature's power and majesty. It is genesis defined by the mighty red juxtaposed with the inky darkness yet to be illuminated.
