I really like this. It hasnt been edited and photoshopped to death and enhanced with filters. This is how photography used to be and I appreciate the organic simplicity of it! Good job

Location
One of the best parts of living on a river is waking up to snowy mornings like this one. It's like living in a snow globe. This photo is of the sunrise over the Chippewa River in Mt. Pleasant, MI. The local ducks had just landed to rest in the icy water. They often entertain themselves by flying up river, landing, and then floating down with the rivers current.Time
It was taken in the early morning just as the sun rose across the river. The only thing moving that morning was the river, the ducks, and myself.Lighting
This image is completely natural lighting.Equipment
Kodak EasyShare Z712 Digital Camera. And oldie, but a goodie.Inspiration
Alone in the early morning, enjoying the crunch of the freshly fallen snow under my boots as I allowed myself to "Just be" instead of focusing on the stresses of daily life. I loved the tranquility of the moment.Editing
No post processing.In my camera bag
I love the older Kodak cameras.. So I generally carry them in my bag with a ton of extra batteries.Feedback
Right place at the right time. Always carry your camera because you never know when a moment like this will happen.
