This is absolutely breathtaking! Presentation and visual impact are impressive. Color harmony is very pleasing and soothing. Love the footprints in the frozen lake. Beautiful capture, Grace!

nice colors that you have captured. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the colorful sky view, tree skyline and water is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Interesting combination of white landscape and deep red sunset sky. Intense yellow stripe divides both making beautiful colour palette. Black structures in front borders make the colours even more intense. I miss only some more defined front structure to make the whole scenery more alive.

What a beautiful colored sky with lovely pinks and yellow just before the sunrise. Beautifully framed by nature with excellent depth and a lovely glow from the natural light. A real pleasure to view and review.

Grace,
A beautiful atmospheric sunrise over the still frozen lake criss crossed by Ice-fishermen's footprints the sky gold along the horizon with orange clouds floating in the sapphire blue sky that adds a a blue haze to the snow & ice- covered lake below. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

How wonderful it is for those who wake up to a sunrise like this, and more wonderful that you captured it forever. I love the footprints in the snow and fantastic colors of gray, orange and yellow sitting above that beautiful snow covered lake. Wonderful work, getting this shot that we seldom see. Perfect focus, clarity and DOF. Well done and thanks for sharing.

This is very nice work! I love your gorgeous colors in the sky from your sunrise. The composition has great depth of field which draws the eye into your image. I like how your trees are framing your scene. Perfectly framed and well composed shot. A good perspective with nice movement in your scene. Good balance of tones and shapes. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

Breath taking sunset indeed. I like the nice intense color of pink which is brought out well in this photograph and this composition follows well the rule of thirds with the horizon at the one third point.

How wonderful it is when you spot one of these moments and you actually have your camera with you. It sure is a magical sight. I think you acould have cropped out the silhouettes of the tree and focuses in more on the footsteps as they really are great detail here and would have given more priority to that wonderful sky.

    Thank you! I appreciate your comments. I was actually so enamored by the sky that I didn't focus enough on the footprints :)
Comment from Dick Lee Shia


I reviewed it this morning but I guess it wasn't successfully submitted due to erratic wifi signal.

Well, this is a naturally framed scenic "ice scape"...against a contrasting fiery skyline backdrop.
Amazing stratocumulus cloud formations...
A few step back would greatly enhance the framing by capturing more of the silhouetted pine & leafless trunk on the other side.

Good perspective & long depth of field...

Thanks for sharing...
