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.

Nice shot. I like that you not only see the surface of the water and what is reflected on it, but also what is underneath it. Cool.

What a breathtaking shot. I really like all the cyan in the sky and how it is reflected into the clear water. The green land adds contrast.
