Photographer: Pawel Uchorczak

Location: Poland

Pawel does a wonderful job in avoiding blowing out the lighter areas of the photo and still keeping the colors in the darker areas. He gives a good sense of depth and distance with the angle of the shot and the level of effort he put into tweaking the highlighting and shadows. Yellowing up the beams of light that fall on the earth gives a much more "godly" feel, as if it's almost portraying that light always overcomes dark or as if the earth is waking up.
