A wide palette of blues of Cong River lie in the shade of this frosty winter morning as the remnants of autumn's leaves cling to this overhanging branch. A bright sunny morning illuminates the rising mist off the river during some amazing cold conditions in December.
Behind the Image
With icy conditions and much of the country subject to sub-zero temperatures, I knew the opportunity to capture misty conditions rising from water would occur as the sun began to rise. I intended on a similar composition for some time but had not encountered the right scene to capture it. This particular morning, spent amongst the surroundings of Cong in Co. Mayo, I discovered this particular branch overhanging the Cong river. With a strong surge from the river and the scene backlit by the rising sun, each element came together delightfully.
