Reflected Morning Sky
Looking away from the sun that was just rising above the horizon, the best colour was in the west.
Although I really like this scene, I am not entirely sure that I am thrilled with the processing. I actually overworked the first version, started over, and ended up reworking the second version and settled on this third version. The problem I think is that the land was fairly dark in relation to the sky, although in real life my eyes could see detail in both.
There is one very bright spot that runs across the darker cloud in the sky that was overexposed. I only shot the one exposure. I am not sure that even an HDR version would have helped.
In the end I simply darkened the sky, lifted the shadows a bit and gave extra contrast to the land. I am not sure that my capture has done justice to what really was a beautiful scene, but I have done what I believe to be my best with the file I had to work with.
