River Bow

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 12, 2014246 views11 comments

On the North Platte River on a very cold morning. I was losing the very pretty light in the fog and was thinking about backing up and getting out of the cold, when I look up and saw this bow caused by the rising sun in the fog. Thanks for you comments and critiques.

Your image captures the feel of a cold morning very well, Richard. The mist rising and the sun dog add a lot to its impact . Nice job. Chet

makes me shiver, I would not want to be fishing on this particular day. Glad you decided to take photo's though and capture this chilly morning.

A cool shot. An image that makes one realize that if he were there, he might be saying, Come on sun!."

You captured a beautiful moody atmosphere on that morning. The rising sun is warming the cold air a little bit...also colorwise. Maybe the whitebalance is a tad to warm for my personal taste and the sky has a bit too much yellow in it. But that's just me, maybe

Neat catch of this sundog, Richard. I sure like the mysterious sense that the mist creates and the sundog adds nicely to that mystery.

Wow, very cool, Richard. I've never seen a fog bow before. Nicely captured.

Cool to catch that rainbow in the mist Richard. Subtle, but nice.
