Icy Sunrise

An attempt at merging two exposures--one for the foreground, one for the sky. Successful?

Any tips for doing it better?

Looks pretty terrific to me. Great job with getting the delicate details of the hoarfrost.

Very nice Patrick!!

It's a good attempt. The tall weeds? (however attractive) don't work. They should not be in the light.

Looks like a wonderful first "attempt" to me. I really like your composition. The range of color (which you obtained by merging) is truly outstanding and very attractive. I know some people are bound to be frowning on this composition because the tree is centered but I would vote to ignore them and the "rules" in this case--the centered tree works really well in this composition. I also like the wide angle lens view--it's really nice! By the way, what program did you use to merge your shots? Is it an HDR program? I really need to start using those...it would help a lot of my shots tremendously. Great work--thanks for sharing!

Extraordinario, excelente.

Beauty!! Great color and good combining. I think your composition says alot about breaking certain rules. Placing the little tree in the center was a good choice.

The merge looks perfect to me. Beautiful image and range of colors.
