Blend of two shots one for the sun burst and the one with the human element(myself).
Disqualification Details
You must create your entry from a single capture. While HDR processing is permitted, it is required that all frames be of the same "scene" with no major changes between exposures. Because you have combined images *with* the figure and images *without* the figure, the final result is a "composite image", a double-exposure in other words, and this is not allowed.

I am still surprised by the disqualification... As per the rule, the composition didn't change its the same frame and composition. One frame didn't have the human figure but that won't make a difference if I just used the three shots to blend. Disappointed.
Spectacular! Good idea to put the sun right beneath the icicle, even the flares add to the shot. The lighting looks really fine - is that all natural? I'd like to see the unedited picture some day
Its all Natural :) it was a tough one as i literally have few minutes before sun goes down from that point, i took three shots with underexposed with f22 for the sun burst and then increased the exposure and put the self timer to 10s and ran on the frozen baikal lake to stand at right position, luckily i got what i wanted in 1st attempt.
