There's a reason why photographers get up before the sun . . . and no, it's not insanity. I left the warmth of my bed this morning to great the 3 degrees of fridged weather to capture great color. The sky was amazing with wide swaths of blue and pink . . . and I thought the best way to capture this was the color reflection in the fluid dynamics of ice flow. Not only did I manage to find some great wind swept ice, but I also found a composition with some animal tracks in it . . . totally worth getting up for!

Captured with the Nikon 70-200mm VR at 160th of a second at f/2.5 with an ISO of 400.
