STUMPED

Canon EOS REBEL XS, Promaster 19-35 lens @ 19mm, ISO 100, f/14, 2.5 sec.
  I have been trying for 12 years to work this little stump into a photograph.  This spot is right in front of my workplace on Tellico Lake in Vonore, TN. It seems like there is an incredible sunrise 2-3 times a week and no matter how many times I photograph this stump I am just never happy with the outcome.
  Well Monday morning was a banner day. I was trying for some long exposures withe this stump in the foreground and actually was happy with one of my 45 second exposures that I will post later.
  About 10 minutes after starting to shoot, the clouds started to break and the sun was peaking through giving me this awesome view. I blended a shot that exposed the foreground and another that exposed the background together and viola.
  This stump has stumped me no more.

    Looks really cool. I like how you need to make out the details yourself a bit in the tree stump.

    You waited, planned and waited some more, and this is an awesome payoff. What a scene, sky and colors.
