Have you colored this sepia or was this the original shot? Whether or which it has a nice, restful quality.

Lovely… The sun breaking through the mist seems to announce that it’s going to be a nice, clear day.

What a wonderful mood! If the fog is low-lying, be sure to watch for ‘fog-bows’ on days like this. I’ve only seen one, but it was a great surprise. The sun has to rise above the fog layer, then creates a colorless bow–very ethereal. Days like this are also great for early morning birding. Very nice potd!

I like this shot, but with so much mist around I can not envisage that there was very much IR. Would be interested to know how you did it. A good image anyway.

Still, quiet and peaceful. The shadows spread like a fan. Foggy mist adds mystery. Were there any bird sounds? Great eye and good timing.

I love the effect the sun gives the fog.
The only things that take my attention away from it is the mud and the house/shack in the background.
Otherwise it’s very peaceful.
Nice shot.
