Title: Winter lakeside sunset
Post by: MattBurt on March 07, 2016, 12:17:55 am

We are having a big warm up lately and puddles have formed but the ice is still a foot or so thick.

Even with the warm up, it looks very cold.
I like the complementary colors and the puddle on the lake makes the shot…

Thanks all and yes, it does look cold. I was wearing a hat and gloves and down jacket but after all those -20 and below days this winter it sure feels warm! Liquid water, however little, is also a sign of relative warmth to the trained eye. :)

Stunning light and the reflection in the ice sets the whole image alive.

I do appreciate the comments!
The ice should be breaking up now; I need to go back out there and check it out again soon!

I did two simple edits on this image; the first to neutralize the blue cast on the snow and the second to further reduce the cyan. What I discovered, and suspected was there was a greater sky color saturation than originally presented. The issue with the blue snow is there isn't enough blue value in the sky to reflect that much intensity on the ground.
