An image full of mystery and magic. I love the strong contrast, the silhouettes, the light, the mood, the dust - a scene that immediately tells a story. The woman is very well positioned too as she obviously follows the curved path which is leading towards the light and is also leading the eye into the scene. Well done!

Such a glow! You've captured a stunning atmosphere and landscape on this morning. This is what the golden hour is truly about. I like the way you have framed the scene with the tree in the middle and the sun taking center stage. The walker adds interest. There are a few dust spots which can easily be removed.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** The Golden Hour, that hallowed time just after sunrise, and just before sunset when the low sun turns everything it touches to gold. Photographers are required to drop everything except their cameras, head outdoors, and get shooting. For the super keen, the morning golden hour has the added benefit of dew on the grass, and morning mists. For the more civilised approach, a sunny afternoon outdoors can deliver an unfolding and deepening golden hour, before the head back home as the last remnants of the day disappear. Traditionally the golden hour may be most associated with landscapes, but can be a great time to shoot many other subjects as well.
