I don't know about the rest of you, but work has just been crazy busy as of late. To help blow-off some stress I stopped off on the way to work and spent a little time shooting. It was a foggy day as another storm was quickly passing through the area and the gulf moisture was finally getting pulled up into the area.

Would appreciate any C&C, or processing suggestions with this image.

That is COOL! My only suggestion would be to see about coaxing some more detail out of those trees. But this is killer.

I agree with Todd, also it might just be me but the horizon looks a little slanted as well.

Very nice..I bet the original resolution of this looks terrific!
I see plenty of detail in the trees here, and they appear straight so I doubt there's a tilt.
Does seem a bit warmish to me for a winter scene, though.

That's a great scene, Steven. The fog clinging to the #1 flatiron is just cool.

Nice way to start off the day, Steven.
It looks like Tuesday morning may be an opportunity for some more fog.

Very nice comp. I like the fog just over the flatiron.

Nice to see you finally getting out and shooting, you had better foggy conditions that Bill and I last time we went. I like the comp. and atmopshere. I don't think there is a tilt. but I agree with John, there maybe a slight yellow tint to the image.

Cool! The fog is killer. Colors and exposure look right to me. :wavey:

NICE! I cannot ever get fog to look as cool as this.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It was good to be back out shooting and posting again.

John, Nick: You are correct that I warmed it up a little, but not that much beyond a normal cloudy WB. Bringing it back to what would be normal just kills the print so I stayed with the warmth.

Bill: The fog was this morning at sunrise. With the fresh inch of snow and fog I had to stop off again and try getting another shot. Hopefully it comes out and I can make a nice BW.
