Durham Portfolio: Comment on Cloud Gazing on Ice

Cloud Gazing on Ice

PHOTO INFO
Taken at the (frozen) fishing pond in Nockamixon State Park two nights ago around sunset. The sky and clouds overhead were gorgeous and full of color. Yes, the ice was thick enough for a small person to safely lie on. :)

Post-processing: Shot with the Canon 5D at 17mm, ISO 400, 1/40s at f/4. Multiple curves adjustments for contrast, saturation; selective color saturation and de-saturation, some black and white brushing in 'vivid light' mode.

Thanks, everyone!

Good to see beauty.
I like the surreal look of this picture and how the colors surrond the kid into a dreamy sphere of something unknown.

Amazing! I love the expression on his face and how it looks like he's lying on the surface of (unfrozen) water. Beam me up.
