Superb low lighting and wonderful composition, nice detail. Like the inclusion of scruffy , grecy pebbles in the foreground......adding real life story. Great capture.....congrats on the feature.

Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8, Nikkor 16-35 f/4, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8g, Hitech 0.9 hard edge ND grad, 0.6 soft edge ND grad, 10 stop ND filters, Tripod, Hahnel Giga T Pro wireless remote release, Gloxy Flash, YONGNUO YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller, 2x YongNuo YN-622N Wireless TTL Flash Triggers.

I like to shoot this type of shot from a low angle with lots of foreground interest in the scene, use an ultra-wide lens (16-35mm of full frame) or (10-20mm on a croped APS-C sensor), filters to increase the exposure time. The time of day for the colour but even in the day time with the correct filters you can shoot long exposures and do a mono conversion.
