Quiraing sunrise. I have been waiting for the moment when sun will shine on the tree en light it. The clouds were not perfect that day but still this was a fantastic moment. Few minutes later the shadows and the global contrast were much more stronger. No Photoshop of course. I used the gradual ND filters from Hitech and the development of the single RAW file was made in Lightroom 3.2

Camera: Sony DSLR-A900
Lens: Sony Zeiss 16-35 mm f/28
Exposure: 0.6 sec at f/18
Aperture: f/18
Focal Length: 24 mm
ISO Speed : 100
Filters : Hitech GND 0.6

Maciej - Great shot, but this should be posted in the photo critiques gallery, not in the discussion forum.
