Description
As this shot has received so much attention i feel the need to give a bit more information on where it is and how it was made.The shot was taken at Llynheilyn Pool which is located in the east of Wales, luckily only a mile or so away from my house. You'd be lucky to find a day in the Welsh countryside with no wind but every now and then we are blessed with one, perfect weather for capturing reflections. The clouds just happened to be perfect, as if they were reaching out from the sky itself. When the shot was taken the clouds sort of formed a shape that resembled if they were being sucked in by the horizon, giving a great sense of depth. The wide sigma lens really emphasised the depth well.
A 6 shot HDR image generated in photomatix with later editing in photoshop. No filters of any kind were used when taking the photograph.

the sky is so awsome how at one end it very bright, and the other very dark, and i love how at one end of the pond you can clearly see under water, and at the other you can only see the sky

Such a beautiful shot! Everything about it is so visually pleasing... transports your views, if but for a moment, to a place of tranquillity, beauty, and peace... stunning shot, very vivid, the sky and the reflection is just amazing. The depth is awesome. Great job!!
