WINTER SUNRISE ON CASTLE MOUNTAIN, BANFF NATIONAL PARK, ALBERTA
Besides the stunning light, the key to this picture is the dusting of snow on the trees. Without that, I probably wouldn’t have made this photo. The black-and-white processing puts the focus squarely on the dramatic light and shadows.
Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky, peak and distant trees.

Wonderful photo, love that area
A majestic view and looks so good in monochrome. I can see why it’s named Castle Mountain. It reminds me a little of the towers that are a feature of the Dolomites in Europe.
