Topaz Lake Sunrise, 6:54 am Saturday, January 11

This was one of the first photos I captured this morning. The surface of the lake was a little more calm than yesterday, so we had better reflections of the sunrise light on the clouds.
Exposure and processing details:
Canon 5D Mark III with 16-35mm lens
Cokin #121 3-stop graduated neutral density filter
single exposure of 5 seconds, f/16 at ISO 200 
Post-processed in +Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.2
I adjusted exposure, brightness, whites and shadows, avoiding other adjustments to contrast, clarity, vibrance, saturation (all left at 0).
White balance was set to 7529 
"Camera Standard" color calibration was used
