Ghosts

Had some lovely fog this morning. Wish I'd have had a bit more time, but did click a few on my way to work.

Sorry, guys. This is a beaver slough that got drained last summer. Can't decide which of these I like the best:

I like that last one, Ken.

[Steve Foss]

Great job in gorgeous light, buddy!

All of them are awesome. Love the colors and the way the fog sets the scene.

[Canon Guy]

Great series! I like the 2nd slough image.

I love the second photo of the ghost tree. Beautiful. The beaver slough has me stumped--I like the sun of the first, the grass detail of the second and the shadows of the third and fourth. Don't suppose you could combine them all into one for me, could you?

The first image in the beaver pond series is beautiful!! I would love to see what the image would have looked like with a neutral density filter to tone down the sun.....Love the majestic white pine in the second image.

Great series, if I had to pick a favorite of the beaver slough, I think I would pick the second one. They are all great though.

[Dbl]

Second and third of the group are my favorites!

[Jim Almquist]

What a great series Ken with all that cool light. It sure looks like there will be a few more days like that to come in the near future.

Thanks all! A couple of thoughts run through my head when I look at these reply's. The first is just how different we all are in what we like when we see an image. So many people like this one or that one for their own reasons. Sometimes I have to remember that when I'm working for a client. What I see, or what I like is not necessarily what they're looking for. I think it's the exceptional image that has a bit of something for everyone to grab on to. The other thought (I guess a little along the same line)is kinda what Sarah had to say. I wish I could take bits and pieces of these and put 'em together as one, and I suppose with Photoshop I could, but for me, that takes some of the joy out of finding that perfect shot. Don't get me wrong, I PS as much as anybody, but I'm looking (and probably always will be) for that shot that includes all the elements that make it a universal winner! Good luck to us all in that quest!
