Morning Mist at Big Oak Flat

zaxxon · November 02, 2014, 11:57:52 AM

Hope it's ok to start a new thread using a recent scene, but I think it's a very different image with a different 'feel'.

As I am by nature an early riser, I've spent many mornings walking thru open fields watching the ground mist rise up and effervesce into the spreading sunlight. The delicate mist lies in the low spots and snugs up against the shadows in the low hills and grudgingly gives itself up to the full warmth of the sun. A sight that has never failed to fill me with a simple joy in being alive. I hope this image communicates some small semblance of that feeling.

Wow...you can feel the moisture in that mist...got a bit chilly all of a sudden...well done....

Lovely. And the description to go along with it only enhances the beauty. I do think finding a way to get some (subtle?) rays in there through one of the trees might be awesome though.

This is absolutely wonderful. I see arising a wonderful series of images of this scene.

DocCharly65: thank you. Would be fun to explore rising mists going forward, maybe add a little turbulence.
Dune: As always, thanks for the supportive comments, truly appreciated.
Oshyan: If you look real close you can see a some subtle light rays coming thru the right hand Oak, I was tempted to keep on, but I have a Icelandic adventure pending...

Bobbystahr: Thanks Man!
Archonforest: Thank you!

Very nice......the hope of a brand new day.

Ah, perhaps very subtle, yes. I want them to punch me in the face.
