A bitterly cold sunrise overlooking the frozen surface of Mud LAke. Temperature was -5.The frost on the reeds made for an interesting lightcatcher.

Aside from the agreement on the CW rotation, this is OUTSTANDING, Mike.

Cold for sure. I like how you've positioned the sunrise relative to the cattail. The sun reflection on the ice/snow is beautiful. I like the overall composition as well.

I like how the frost captures the light and lends a warm fringe to the cattails. The detail in the ice/snow and the "looking through the reeds" perspective are wonderful. This is a scene where I'd be likely to unlevel the camera to get the receeding shoreline to appear level, but a very minor nit, imo.

Sorry about the unlevel horizon, must be slipping.

Hi Mike!! The correction is great, I think this shot should be in contention for a "Pick" in my opinion!!!!!!!!! Good luck!!!
