Natural landscapes: welcoming the spring dawn

MELTING ICE ON THE BOW RIVER,
BOWNESS PARK, CALGARY, ALBERTA
What a blessing it was to experience this gorgeous April sunrise while looking for – and finding – wonderful ice to put in the foreground of photographs!
The range of light was pretty dramatic, so I used a lot of tools to produce the picture you see here. Definitely worth the effort. (Here’s another very cool photo from the same morning: https://wp.me/p2ccTX-1Of.)
Nikon D7100, tripod, two graduated density (darkening filters) on the sky and water, enhancing filter
