Howard Cheng on Nostr: I was looking to enter an earlier edit of this shot into the Nat Geo travel ...
I was looking to enter an earlier edit of this shot into the Nat Geo travel #photography competition for the landscape category, but realised I couldn't as that photo was stacked and then had still foreground merged back into the image, which would be against the rules for comp since "only minor burning, dodging and/or colour correction is acceptable, as is cropping".
So I revisited this shot using only one single frame. I quite like this version, actually.
