I'll stare straight into the sun and I won't close my eyes.
........................................................................................'pi'

This shot is more TrekEarth type of photo, but because of the sun effect I've decided to post it here as well...

Shot was taken near the summit of Chopok on Low Tatras, near Jasna ski center. Strong wind was lifting snow from the ground and with the early morning sun, you'll get effects like this one!

Therez no post-processing! Except for the resize, sharpen (because of the resize) and framing.

PS. sorry Alban but nista od macica :)

Better close your eyes! In short time you could win... But in long time you will lost visual acuity! It show how powerfull the sun could be... I did a few more urbain that we will see very soon. I like the way you play with sun and shadow! Greatly presented with powerfull contrast!

Hi Aleksandar,
I was sure it was postprocessed. Heavily! If not, this is onje of the best shots I've seen in a long time. Your POV was chosen perfectly. Great colours, fantastic shadows making along with the turbulent snow absolutely unreal effect. tfs

The power of the moment! It is well know to you now (;

Brilliant! I love everything about this shot: composition, colors, lighting, subject, mood and I can really feel the snow on my skin. TFS.

Hello Aleksandar,
One of the best backlight shots I have seen for a while!
The effect here is awesome, and you make full use of the opportunity...
Excellent contrasts and dynamic lines, few blown-outs work well as compositional elements!
