Natural landscapes: spring in the mountains

APRIL MORNING AT WHITEMANS POND, ALBERTA

This high-altitude Rocky Mountain pond, a thousand feet above the town of Canmore, presented all kinds of creative opportunities on a cold spring morning. I spotted the floating ice from well off and drove my car as close as possible before making a short walk to the perfect spot for this picture.
There was very little colour in this scene, so it was an easy decision to present a monotone version, which heightens the contrast and drama.
Nikon Z50II, tripod, polarizing filter, graduated density (darkening) filter on the top 1/3.
