The shot was taken near Keetmanshoop, Namibia, around sunset. I used both my new D70 and 12-24 DX Nikkor @ 12mm, 1/15 sec and f/16. The camera was supported by a Gitzo tripod with Markins ballhead. I also used the remote control to fire the shutter. The image was directly converted from NEF, white balance was unchanged. No color corrections were done, only some slight levels adjustments and usm.

What a stunning composition. In the 6 1/2 x 4 1/2" view on my monitor, it looks like it could be a painting. The clouds are worthy of a portrait by themselves. Smile

Fabulous work.

Hello,
The photo reminded me of the 'Dutch Angle' -no pun intended. Used extensively on film, it provides views away from horizontal. The tree bark on the foreground seems to do this, away from the viewer.
Composition is, befitting of a prize winner, outstanding. May I be so bold as to ask the time length required to scout/find/compose such a photograph?
Congratulations, Mr Van Oosten
