Luminous - Blue Ridge Winter Sunset by Dave Allen
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.
