Stream and fog
I've photograhed this stream several times and never got anything I wanted to keep. It's usually a trickle but a few weeks ago it had a nice flow and with some fog rolling in I gave it another shot. The water was bright but the exposure was manageable. Applied a 4 stop solid ND at capture and in the spirit of full disclosure added a little more fog as well as a touch of Glamour Glow in post with NIK CEP3.

Everyone have a great, safe Memorial Day weekend.

NIce capture Bruce. The water seems perfect with the shutter speed selected. I bet a larger version would bring out the detail even more. Conifer foliage ... on my monitor (not calibrated) seems a tad red/brown tinted. I kinda like the fog as you've touched it up.

Brusce, I like this a lot, particularly the look of the water flow. You didn't say your shutter speed, but it sure looks good for this. I'm wondering about color correction: the water looks a little toward orange... as does the area up in the fog. Btw, nice touch on the fog.
