Interesting shot, never seen anything quite like it, and thats a good thing! Did you darken the bg or something--or is that just from the odd lighting?

Stan - Thanks for your comment. The only processing I did to this image was a slight overall adjustment to exposure and contrast.

Pretty cool effect on the water from the sunrise. I like how the BG is revealed as one studies the photo. :toast:

this is great. It has a very relaxing feel to it, almost dreamy

Carol, I really like this, especially how the background comes into focus after looking for a bit.
