Sunset at Gator Hole Lake Jonathan Dickinson State Park

Feb 24, 2012 | Landscapes & Scenery

I had the luxury of hiking with a shutterbug friend, Chris Evans from foottraxphotography.com, who showed me this little lake at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, called Gator Hole Lake. That evening the colors just exploded after the sun dropped below the horizon. This is a three image panoramic which I stitched in Photoshop then tone mapped in Photomatix Pro for a little color pop.
