Paradise Divide Sunset by John Vinson

John Vinson sent today’s Photo Of The Day to the new Cloudscapes Assignment which opened yesterday. He took the photograph near Crested Butte, CO. He writes, “Paradise Divide is a place where you have stunning views in all directions and things got good at just the right time!” Being in the right place at the right time is half the battle. John took care of the other half–making a compelling image of the scene–using his Nikon D300 and a 24-85mm lens.
