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.

-------------------

Canon 20D
Sigma 10-20mm
Photoshop for levels, colour enhancement and mild dodging and burning.

what sort of filter and/or post-processing do you utilize?

No filters, and the usual photoshoppery which tends to be contrast and colour enhancement with a bit of dodging and burning.

Wow. You had the luck to have a sky that looked so... epic. The reflection fading into the blue-green rocks is beautiful.

Shame the other surroundings are a little scraggly... but that sky and reflection... Wow.
