The beautiful lake Braies in winter, during this season the surface of the lake is almost always frozen, however in some places the ice is less and shows some openings . One of these is located on the side farthest from the view of the mountain where you can find these splendid reflections of warm light even in a cold season like winter.
WORKFLOW EXPLANATION
As first thing I blended the darker image into the lighten image to decrease the colors of the sky, than i added details and colors using TTS Pro and luminosity masks.
I increase colors vibrance and fixed some snowy spot in the frame, after using dodge and burn on the forest, I push up tonality colors on the water and fixed the tones of the sky. As last touch I added a soft vignette in the whole picture
I always hope you will find this usefull. Love to ear this from you!
