I was hired to do a family's Christmas card photo at this location, so I went a couple of hours early and captured the sunrise light shining on the face of Garden of the Gods. Pikes Peak in the background is an added bonus!
Kissing Camels can be seen at the top of the red rocks, about one third from the left.
Canon 20D, 50mm f1.4 on tripod. Editing consists of crop and resize, dodge and burn, Fred Miranda Intellisharpen action, slight levels adjustment. JPG compression at 85 quality to meet 150k requirement.

I've tried five different approaches to commenting on this, and I can't find the words. It does nothing for me, but I'm at a bit of a loss to explain why.
Looks like you knew just when to be there! NIce shot! With the great contrasts in this photo, I'll be it looks good in b/w too...although I like the color.
