Beautiful shot, Larry. What was the source of light for the foreground, if you donโt mind me asking? It really serves to make the tree and rocks interesting.
Questions are always welcome, I have no secrets. In addition to the rising sun, I have a Petzel hiker's headlamp with three levels of brightness. I used the lowest level to paint the tree in a quick pass over the limbs. At ISO 1000 it does not take much to have an impact. The light striking the tree from the right was caused by a 18 wheeler coming down the highway around a bend. He was about a half mile away and his lights indirectly struck the tree for 2-3 seconds. It is the one thing I don't like about the image. If only that light could have come from the left, it would have been perfect.
Thanks for both looking and asking.
