Moonlight
The "moon" in the river looked bigger than the real one in the sky because I set up my tripod into the water so that I could get the closest viewpoint. This image was taken at 6.48am of the local time, while the far away mountain peak was already illuminated by the rising sun behind the mountain.

The silken texture in the foreground, the luminescence of the water and the wonderful glow of the dawning sun are simply stunning. Wow!

wow, it's so great, do you use any artificial light to light the stones ?
Yan Zhang  Boedi, Thanks for your comment. No artificial light was used. The moonlight was quite bright which made the foreground stones quite clear.
Boedi Wiyarno  Thanks for sharing. Great timing to capture great picture

How amazing is this 1X place?
What a fantastic capture, Yan Zhang. With talent like yours in here, no wonder all my uploads get rejected lol.
Moonlight... Sunlight... Mountains... Rocks... Water... Ice?
A beautifully balanced composition of light and textures.
Harmonious shades of blue in the fore and mid grounds and a hint of warmth from the rising sun on the distant, back-ground mountains; the transitional moment from the cool of night to the advancing warmth of day is perfectly captured and almost palpable.
An absolutely lovely, serene image.
