Honestly... I didn't think 2023 was a great year of photography for me. My dreamy light prediction meter® was way out of tune, and even after several amazing trips, the yield of compelling dreamy light shots was quite low. This shot being the obvious exception.
That's the game though, and all the more reason to continue to get out there this year and keep chipping away.
That's some sweet light! Love the colors. Nicely done!
