Dave Allen submitted today's Photo Of The Day to the Sidelight Assignment. He took this photograph in Laurel Park near Hendersonville, NC. It's a beautiful example of how sidelight can enhance textures, add dimension and create a luminous effect with ice and with leaves. Allen writes, "Landscape photography featuring a cold winter sunset in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. The light reflecting off of these ice covered trees at Jump Off Rock in Laurel Park showcases some amazing lighting and conditions at sunset after a winter storm."
The Sidelight Assignment is open for submissions through Nov 20.

WOW!!! Amazing!
Awesome, thanks so much Christopher!
Dave, you are a master of light. Such a powerful image. The light seems to transition across the image from a warm glow to winter’s cold. I have never seen trees lit this way.
Beautiful! Just Beautiful!
Beautiful soft tones with just a touch of light coming in from the side creating a warm glow.
