I spent the majority of yesterday afternoon and evening cruising and hiking around the Black Balsam area of the the Blue Ridge Parkway, through intense storms and fog. It didn't look like it'd break for sunset, but I picked a spot, waited it out, and had a great fifteen minute window to photograph this scene. I shot a bunch of compositions, but I've processed this one first.
I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly where this was taken... Maybe somebody could help with that? It was somewhere around MP 430.
This is laptop processed, and I blended three exposures, so please excuse any less than great color or contrast issues.
Thank you for looking and commenting!

Well done.
I know it has nothing to do with the photo, and you probably can't control it at all, but the huge black frame around it is a bit distracting.
Very good shot.

The semi-darkness of this image really helps emphasize the mood and timing of the image. I'd like to recommend lightening this up a tad, but I think that would take away from the mood and your intent. I'd say this captures the moment perfectly - even though I wasn't even there.
