Amazing. The leading lines (the frozen ice, the clouds on the top and the reflections on the ice/water), the "burning" clouds, the hint of motion captured in the clouds, all make this a great shot. Well seen, well captured and and an excellent presentation. Thanks for sharing.
If you don't mind me asking, is this a single exposure?
Thank you. Yes, this is a single exposure. In fact, I actually did a focus stack with this, and didn't even use it to process because the image was 'sharp enough' with the single frame, and I was too lazy to go the full 9 yards to make the stack...
What a stunning photograph! The vibrant sunrise colors, intricate patterns on the icy surface, and the silhouette of the snow-capped mountains in the distance all create a truly breathtaking scene.
I missed this when you first posted. Fabulous shot! You really lucked out with the clean ice and sunrise clouds. How cold was it? Were you wearing micro spikes or some such? Thanks for posting a large breath taking version.
