This is very beautiful. Good choice for the theme - contrasting dark cloud and sunlight, water and land. Nicely exposed and framed. I would maybe just have burned(?) the trees a little to give a little more texture.

Thanks stolenlife. This is lago Titicaca, the highest navigable lake of the world, at the border between Peru and Bolivia, and it's famous for its sunrises, with reason...

This shot is a tone-mapped HDR from three bracketed exposures, and I was thinking that the trees were already burned too much, and I was fearing that adding even more would make the lighting look unnatural.

Breathtaking view. I'm in love with that sky. Nicely done.

stolenlife said 245 days ago:

Maybe youre right about the trees after all. Taking another look, there is about the right amount of detail, as theyre stood against the sea

This is a wonderful and peaceful shot. I wish it were bit brighter..and more contrast.
love the shadows of the clouds there.

This is a pretty image but in my opinion it doesn't hit the relevance in the theme.
