Sweetgum in the Mist

Ponca, Arkansas, Buffalo National River

#54355 This image is very painterly because it can't be any other way. Early fog and mist precludes a sharp focus, but the soft focus and color result in a painting-like photo.

Canon EOS 5D
1/800s f/5.6 at 67.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Michael, As you know, I have this print on canvas atop a museum-piece glass front book shelf where it gets morning sunlight from the right of the print. I cannot begin to put words how stunningly gorgeous I find this photo. It is at once the purest reality and an ancient Japanese impressionist capture. The color draws the eye immediately to the rich red of the Sweetum, but the rock and its reflection in the misty water soon make evident the fog and the subtle presence of the barely visible tree hugging the cliff. It is both tangible and an ephemeral mystery. It brings me joy on even the worst of days, and I thank you for that and for all of your work wherever I see it turn up. Jin

Painters just wish that they could dream up something this pretty. Only people who stop and smell the roses are able to capture a photo like this. This is the best landscape image I've seen.
