Shel, thanks for taking the time to look & comment. My comments interspersed below - not a defense of the image, just an explanation.

I know what you mean - its like trying to take one image of the Grand Canyon.

However as a morning shot it does fairly well portray what I saw that morning An interesting project would be a series of images of this range over a 24 hour period. As it sits, right here on the screen, it just doesn't cut it ... it needs a little more work. But mostly, this is not the best venue or size for such a photograph.
