Interesting, Kalyanpur. There’s a bit of tension in this image in my mind. The sky and foreground are very peaceful and the white shape seems peaceful as well, but evokes the western tradition of ghosts a bit. I like it.

My first impression was of a ghost rising up from the ground. The warm/cool contrast of colors is lovely. I do see quite a few sensor spots. If you have a dirty sensor, they really show up when you do lighter toned ICMs (don’t ask me how I know :laughing:).
