Very ethereal Bill. I also like your comp and B&W treatment. Yup, I love scenes and days like this. The distant foggy dunes are especially nice.

I might tighten it up a little - off the top and right. Very moody - Looks like a beach with snow.

Bill, the larger version is a must see on this capture. The detail in the dune grasses is much more apparent on the larger image. The amount of fog is perfect for the mood and the viewing to make us look deeper. A very fine image.

Wow, this is really neat Bill. I'm glad you clarified Florida, because it could certainly pass as snow. This is a rare photograph where I actually like the lighter borders. Very creative in your crafting.

Bill, the contrast between the delicate details in the foreground and the misty background works perfectly for me. The plainness of your composition conveys the atmosphere impressively to me.

Bill,

Fog? In Florida? Must have been brutal, what, about 72 deg?

jk.

This is wonderful! Great mood and atmosphere. Personally, I could see taking this even further towards a high-key presentation, but the simplicity of this works beautifully as is. I think a crop as suggested could work as an alternate, but I'm enjoying the spaciousness of this too.

Thanks for the comments so far and the suggestions.

Actually Lon, it was brutal - it was more like 70 degrees, not 72!!

Gorgeous land/seascape Bill. I would try it in B&W renditions also.
