Beautiful work Linda. It reminds me of many mornings when I was young, sitting in a duck blind waiting for those birds to fly toward me. Ah, better more innocent times
Thanks very much, Jack.

I’m not going to be popular - but I just don’t like the bright water and the ducks Linda! The bright area is far too eye-catching (and landscapes are better with a touch of vignette along the top and bottom - as per Jesus Ramirez training about ten years ago, if you follow him). Chop ‘em out, start the bottom of the frame with the silhouetted trees and shrubs and you have something very pleasing to the eye. You can still add a little misty vapour but keep it subtle. The valley mist is fine and, surprisingly, so are the striations. Did these arise from low colour gamut or the Topaz effect? Whichever, they look fine and you have a superb image. So I’m redeemed? But I would like the hint of red light in the sky to match the valley mist a little more🥴.

Thank you very much for your detailed assessment, Dave. I often change my mind about images after editing, and of course often have two or more versions I like nearly equally

Here is what the original looks like after a few tweaks in the raw editor. I'll put this one in my folder of "reconsider what you did" for the upcoming cold and gray winter days.

I greatly appreciate your time and interest.

Indeed a beautiful mystic morning mood setter for warm coffee from the thermos as one waits for a good shot of the sunrise and hill in the background. Great photo
Much appreciated, Don. It was below 30 degrees, so I kept the car running

This is lovely. The colours are wonderful. I really like how the lightness of the fog makes the silhouette of the trees stand out. For me, it makes them the focal point of the image. I probably wouldn't have noticed the ducks if you hadn't mentioned them. But they do add interest to the water portion of the image.

Thank you, Kathy. I'm very pleased it appeals to you!

Now, there's an artistic shot! Great subject matter and layers that complement each other well.

Enjoyed, Linda, enjoyed!

I agree that the brightness in the water is a little overwhelming, but why not just bring that down a bit ... or two or four, and maybe add a bit of red? Why delete such a lovely layer?

The backlighting was yummy. Primary edit is Topaz Studio 2 filter, "Swirly strokes" at 30 percent opacity. Feedback welcomed!

btw, those durned ducks wouldn't lift their heads; they were too busy skimming the water for breakfast


Love it. Very nice moody and dramatic image.
