Ramparts of the day - a photo on Flickriver

This shot has been taken during one of my sunrise sessions in Rosolina Mare (see my What a meaningful world... for information about that peculiar location).

In its conception this is a humble shot, just the first of a series of exposure bracketings to be stitched and blended into a panorama. Not enough spare time even to think of such an endeavour now - but I have realized that this shot could have a life of its own, so I have processed it and... here it is.
I was fascinated by the rampant, mighty, glowing cloud on the left - something like a rampart against the shadows of the night - and this "detail" of that sunrise puts it in the limelight. Hope that you will enjoy this view, my friends!

I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-1.7/0/+1.7 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot), then I added some final touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
