Nice! Both are great, but I prefer the one after sunset. There's more balance between the rock, the mountains and the sky.

Sunrise from Bald Mountain in Boulder County. Green Mountain, Bear Peak and South Boulder Peak (respectively) on the right. I think those are the first and possible second flatirons in there too.

I debated putting this in the Night Photos thread, but I think it works better as a sunrise :-)
