Thanks again everyone!

Beautiful!

I will admit, very rarely do I see a vertical image that works in the 2:3 ratio, especially an ultra-wide focal length. I dunno, there is just something about the vertical 2:3 that looks too stretched, especially on a small computer display. Often times most folks fail to fully utilize the foreground or sky in ultra-wide angle images, and are simply better off cropped to 4:5...

This image, however, is jaw-dropping from top to bottom, and I bet it would get even more beautiful if printed large and hung on a wall. Way to go!

Thanks Matt. I do feel the same way as you when looking at most portrait landscape images. I often find myself wondering if they are vertical panos, because they can look quite stretched and empty. One of the many advantages of shooting large mountains and close foreground is that I never have trouble filling the frame.

Such an incredible image! The detail in the foreground frost is amazing. The composition is gorgeous, with the water leading my eye up through the image to the mid-ground and finally then to the stars! This image is both a feast for the eyes and the soul! Extremely well done, Justin! Thanks for sharing.

Really nice job of lining up the milky way with the channel of open water. The crystals are also nice. Nice job of laying low to emphasize the crystals, though I must admit I'm still not entirely sold on the technique. I always wonder what these types of scenes would look like if shot just a bit higher. But I'm probably the only photographer alive thinking this way . The colors are beautiful and the scene looks quite realistic overall. Well done.

Thanks Chris. This scene would look a lot worse if the tripod was higher. Being the tourist hub that it is, means that the shoreline was covered with footprints. Getting down low was the only way to exclude them from the frame, and provide a close enough perspective to bring out the intricate details in the frost. Glad you like it!

This is a very creative take on a familiar landscape. The details you've captured are amazing and the process you used to build your image is so fascinating. The ice crystals are so darn captivating that I just keep checking them out.

fantastic image and more than worthy of being a featured thread.
cheers,
bruce
