The Myth

[Digital Matt]

I photographed a sunrise last summer at the Ladue Reservoir here in Ohio, and had the good fortune of capturing this photo, which I have displayed earlier, in a very manipulated fashion, which was how I had edited it at the time.

I went back and gave it a natural treatment, and found it also to be beautiful. I'll show ya both. Thanks for lookin.

Either way, it's a remarkable photo. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us.

As what you managed to capture (the fog above the water and the rising sun with its special light) it will always remain a striking photo.
Methinks I prefer the new version, this one here, for the blue in the sky. It is a wonderful colour. And the "fire" is still there!

Thanks April, Mike, and LaFoto

It is a breathtaking capture - what a place!! I prefer this one for its realism, though the other one packs more drama. Nice work.
