Early Morning Atmosphere in Sri Lanka

This time again a digitally composed picture, but still beautiful! A shot of the sunrise on our house beach, with dark clouds, which only lets the light peek out, but obscures the rising sun. The shot was ideal for creating the impression of camera movement with Gaussian blur only in the x-direction. But the effect is fundamentally different. While ICM by hand always has a random line of motion, the method of Gaussian blurring provides a dead straight “line of motion”, which is also quite appealing.
