This is another shot from the patio taken last September. Quite a series of storms rolled in. The fog finally started to lift and although the color version was OK, I liked the B/W a bit better.

5d2, iso100, 70-200 @127mm, f/7.1, 30sec

Comments and critiques greatly appreciated

Better large

This is great, very moody. It's taken from your PATIO?

That sure does look like a face laying down out there, Gary. Going b&w here helps to emphasize the shapes nicely. Hard to beat good photography from your patio (or in your yard :biggrin: )

Nice, mysterious feel to this one, enhanced by the B and W. Good balance between mountain and fogs, nice tones.

Gary, the large black and white is superb.

A real sense of motion to the clouds and mist ...

Cheers,
Carol

Fog and cliffs, a couple of my favorite things. B&W works fine for me. A very nice capture, Gary.

Wow, this is just excellent Gary. You never cease to amaze.
This veil of fog really sets the stage for a great 'facial'..
I'm thinking he's gonna rise up from the dead:smile:
Very nice, terrific entry for this WC! :toast: :toast:
