The photo was taken at Lake Bled during the January trip. This is probably the best place to take pictures of lake bled. It was taken just after the sunrise. Though the sun is not in this picture as it was not visible from this point as you can see it is in the right part of the image behind those trees. Though I have captured the sunrise from another point. I like Max Rive's work, so I tried to copy his style by putting human in the composition. Though it was not a self portrait. I am describing the processing technique in short 1) For the foreground (from the bottom to the mountain) I used 4 exposures and blended them using Tony Kuyper's latest 16 bit Luminosity Masks and blend if sliders. 2) Next the sky. Honestly the clouds were not trailing like this. I applied few additional blur filters in photoshop to get the surreal look. 3) Finally I use luminosity masks again for the local/global adjustment like tonal balance, color correction, burn/dodge and the contrast. Enjoy it with a black background :)
