Me and a friend went looking for a hut somewhere in the Pemberton area of BC, Canada. We could not find it, and we ended up having to camp outside. My friend decided to make camp within the trees, but I opted to camp out on a frozen lake. A middle-of-the-night bathroom break got me out of the tent, and before I got back in I realized the phenomenal sight I was witnessing. I sat for a while, just staring, when I decided I would try and capture the scene as best I could. My hope is that, with this photo, I am able to convey what I was feeling that night.

Beautiful. Wish I was there.

This image is technically excellent with the subtle density variations in the darkness. Esthetically, the elements are in quiet harmony with a desire for the viewer to take time in viewing the photo.

Well done. Probably much harder to take than you have made it look. Would love to see it with a bit more size!
