Last Morning of 2017

[Mitch Carucci]

I don't have many Land/Seascapes, but I thought this one would serve to celebrate the end of 2017.

The foreground is Ice, not water...(a cold year so far)

Best wishes for 2018!

Great light love the god rays the composition is nice as well.

Nice cloudscape. I like the cold feel of the image. A good farewell to 2017.

[Don Railton]

I too love those clouds Mitch..! i am a little surprised the ice does not look a little more white but i do live in a warm climate so this vision is not common for me.. I do think a brighter FG would help a little however..

Thanks Don.
The ice has many moods. This is salt ice, and is rarely very smooth here. Snow falls onto the ice, melts a bit and freezes again leaving a lumpy surface. Occasionally, ice will form on a still night, then it will freeze like glass. We only get ice in really cold years, which we are having this Winter. I will try lightening the forground. A good suggestion.
