Mountain Ridge Double Exposure Over Floodplain

Rain-slicked earth across a Uttarakhand floodplain reflects a sharp mountain ridge under the flat glare of noon. Early winter air holds the scene in a still, wind-carved solitude despite the whipping breeze suggested by ripples on the wet surface. The double exposure technique merges the starry night sky directly onto the dark silhouettes of the peaks, creating a mirrored composition where stars appear to grow from the mountain tops. The wet ground acts as a mirror, doubling the jagged ridge line and the impossible celestial canopy. Puddles catch the soft light after rain, highlighting the texture of the mud and the crisp edges of the reflected peaks. One dark rock in the foreground anchors the mirrored symmetry.
