Honorable Mention
Fiery Dawn
DESCRIPTION
Mother Nature provided a gift on this morning at Lake McDonald in the Glacier National Park. Although the clouds obstructed the sunrise, I wanted to feature the fiery orange sky and vivid lake reflections. With a long exposure, my goal is to capture cloud movement in the sky and lake. I see the Rocky Mountains silhouette as a way to bridge the explosion of color in sky and water and compose accordingly. With "Fiery Dawn", I hope to manifest the emotion and enchantment I felt on this breathtaking morning. AUTHOR
