spirit of winter

This is really nice! I like the contoured sand and wind rippled water adding a further element of texture and colour. The moon isplaced perfectly in the frame and that wisp of cloud is reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis.

Very well done Richard!

Thanks so much for your comment.  As I developed the format for this image I liked the idea of the various textures that the natural elements provided for the season and I thought it turned out well.  I really appreciate all your recent comments. rek.

Wow, I love this shot! I have a particular love of night photography (although inexperienced in it myself) and have never seen a 'moon rise' like this. Truly amazing. Congrats! Tech question: what was your ap, iso and shutter speed on this shot?

very nice Richard!

Great work!
