Challenge: Best of 2009 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II
Location: Mt. Cook, New Zealand
Date: Dec 6, 2009
Galleries: Landscape, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2010

 Taken in the Hooker Valley. The main peak is Mt. Cook (AKA Aoraki). The weather was pretty nice, and this cloud sorta just appeared off the top of the peak. Gorgeous day and the other clouds were unreal looking.

Post challenge:
The water itself is sorta the color of really watery milk, due to all the glacial silt and whatnot in it. That coloration is not due to a long shutter. Some parts are a little weird too because it was a handheld HDR composite.
Glad this made my page. It was the vacation of a lifetime.
