I’ve really warmed up to this image as I understood what you were after. The warm rocks at the bottom stand out against the cold steel blue of the sky above. And of course the whites give it the emphasis that is what the image is all about. It’s really a creation rather than a natural capture. I guess you could think of it as a nightscape illuminated by a full moon. Interesting.

Thanks Igor, I like your analogy. I think all our images start their lives as natural captures and evolve into creations by the process of editing them to align with our artistic vision for them. Thanks for your thought provoking feedback.
