The bottoms of the clouds are a bit rich in color for me, but I love the foreground water effect. Nice composition.

Awesome

Amazing! Can you tell me how you managed to freeze the water? I am a beginner with a D3100 and would love to learn the settings to shoot a picture like that someday. I'd appreciate your help.

The water is not frozen. A fast shutter speed would freeze the action of the water and there you would see much more detail in the water.

The silky effect that you see in the water is done by using a long exposure.

Your work always amazes me.
Simply beautiful.

I see. Can you tell me how I'd achieve that "silky effect" on my camera? Thanks.

Very nice.

There's more to it that that. Abbye uses a very heavy ND (neutral density) filter of 10 stops (I think), which allows her to shoot with long exposures (more than 30 seconds). The EXIF data with her image shows the shutter value as 456, which is about 7.5 minutes. She's also getting the depth of field using f/10 and a 16mm lens on a full-frame camera, which together give her the depth-of-field.

@abbye: that shot is just beautiful (and follows your usual pattern of really good images), and looks very other-worldly. I can almost image it to be on the methane lakes of Titan...

Yes and no. I'll admit I was once again being lazy...
The silky water is by using the long exposure (slower shutter speed).
The colours in the sky is the time of day. At this particular time of day there was too much light to allow for such a long shutter speed. Hence why Afoto used an ND (neutral density) filter. to "stop down" the light. In other words she is letting less light in and using the longer exposure to compensate.
In using a longer shutter speed Afoto was able to allow much more "motion" in the water giving it that silky effect.

Its morning here now so I'm a little more sprightly!

Nice capture Abbye!

thanks everyone!

also, on top of the 10 stop filter i used a soft 0.9 and 0.3 graduated neutral density to balance the exposure of the sky with the foreground.
