Sunny River Morning

This was taken the morning after my last post (with the fog). Some people did not like the roots in the FG on the last post. I actually tried to move down the bank to get the same view as in this post, but with that nice low fog. However, by the time I moved, the scene looked had turned to the one in my comment, below. The next morning, the fog was also very diffuse, but when it burned off, I recorded this light show on the red oaks that still retain their leaves. (Used a Lally Cap for white ballance, but I ended up toning down the reds, which were just too unbelievable in this light.)
