Thin Ice 2

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 13, 2012185 views7 comments

Clouds reflect off a thin layer of ice on Meddybemps Lake just before sunrise in Downeast Maine. The lake had been freezing over, then breaking up for a couple of weeks. This time, after a night of single digit temps, it stayed frozen. 3 image pan.

This was taken about 15 minutes after "Thin Ice 1" which I posted a couple days ago. I'm always surprised what a big difference a few minutes make on sunset & sunrise shots.

Bill, the subtle colors in this image make for a more mystic character which I really appreciate. Your handling of the shadows is also consistent with the atmosphere in my opinion.

I like the different mood this cooler version brings. Lovely light and color and the pano format works really well.

Very nice, Bill. Really enjoy looking at this. The tree hanging in the water on the right really adds something to this image for me. The sky and reflection are also really nice.

Beautiful scene. I like the way you framed the scene with the trees on both sides. The colors and the sky really make the image. Fine image.

Very appealing. The framing of the trees really keep my gaze in the scene.
