I really love to be out in the nature, especially before the day begins. This is a good chance to capture backlight situations like this one, if you are in the right place at the right time.
So i don't stop saying it: In my opinion sunsets or sunrises are interesting light situations und not necessarily a special cliche. To a certain degree almost each kind of photography is a kind of cliche - for instance portrait shots. Do we stop taking portrait shots, because we are capturing a cliche? I don't think so - each face is unique and something special. And i feel the same about landscapes and sunrises. To me interesting light is never boring and i hope, you feel the same about this shot here.
