...Honestly i can't remember...If i used a filter is the only one i have(b+w nd 0.6)...But the shutter speed and the aperture suggest i didn't used it :)
...Surely for images like this one,i'm used to blend at least two different exposures from the raw file...Forgive my scanty explanation but it's been too long...However thanks a lot!

Stunning photo; this easily should have been first place! If I may ask: did you need to do anything in post or use a filter to get such intense contrast?
