A Break in the Clouds

For me, it's been an incredibly slow winter here in northern Minnesota. The lack of snow and abnormally warm temperatures have definitely been uninspiring. Nonetheless, it has presented some interesting opportunities. This image was created back in late December when, normally, there is more snow and more ice along the shore of Lake Superior. The night before we received a little dusting of snow that barely coated the tops of these honey-dew sized boulders, but as the morning unfolded the opportunity to use these seemed grim. Two hours after the sun rose, the sky began to break up, and create an amazing show of clouds and light.

I appreciate all the critiques on my last post.

Thanks,

Ben

I forgot to add, this edited from a single double processed raw file. One adjusted for the foreground and the other for the sky.
