8th place (tie) - Subdued......by willvan

I went out to shoot some birds this morning, a beautiful sunny day but as I descended toward the water, the entire inlet was shrouded in fog. At first I could not even get the H5 to focus but eventually it came through and even then I had to bring out a few details in post processing. Bill

Thank you all. When I first read jp's remarks I thought he must be talking about someone else's shot but I will take the comments anyway, and you are right Frank, I thought the fog was going to life before the H5 would lock focus. Jerry, while it was not that early in the morning (10am) I pretty much had this 75 acre nature reserve to myself. A bit eerie actually but I love being there.

This image screams "Quiet", willvan. Very nicely done!

Difficult to take in these conditions I believe. I like the remaining fog in front of the trees.

Subdued...and subtle...and superlative.
You've done a fantastic job of bringing out just the right amount of detail and color.
This reminds me of the English painter John Constable.
