This black and white version of my work 'Ember Dragon' was captured in the Dolomites under the setting sun, evoking a fiery, fantastical creature. I focused on the tree's texture, and using black and white, I emphasized its details, creating the 'Obsidian Dragon.'

Honorable Mention

The Hidden Waterfall, though popular and hard to access at sunrise, is a stunning spot, especially in fall when frost decorates the colorful leaves. With limited shooting angles, securing the perfect spot is challenging. After three early visits, this sunrise proved to be the most breathtaking.
