My dad and I took a little trip to Oklahoma last fall to drive and photograph the Talimena National Scenic Byway that runs between Talihena OK and Mena AR through the Ouchita National Forest. Its a beautiful drive any time of year and there are lots of little towns to stop and explore. I don't know if what is causing the fog/smoke/mist. We thought there may have been a fire because otherwise it was a beautiful sunny day in every other direction. I hope you enjoy working on it.

Whether it's smoke or mist, it looked better with a glow to my eye.

This picture didn't have much to work with so I had to add something and set some sort of mood. We've had a lot of talk about this years Fourth of July and got me to think it might be a sparse year for fireworks so let's just have some here and now. By the way the guy in a bi-plane is taking pictures for the local newspaper. That's my story for this edit.
Pretty image - fun to work on. Here's my take:
Nice image to work with Keni. I went totally Topaz on this one.
The image seemed a bit flat for my taste. So I hopefully I gave it a little pop.
Nice shot. Thanks for letting us have at it.
