Out looking for Snail Kites in "The Fog" so thick we lost our way. Thanks to Mike Tracy for a good time. This was my best and only keeper image from that trip.

Hey Robert,
I've been trying to get one of these myself for a few years.......never got enough isolation. You did better than I ever have but I'm wishing the fog was heavier around the cypress?? Not sure if that's it though....maybe it's the same problem I had with the BG.....we'll see what others chime in. I'm not a huge fan of the sign either......but that's not an impact either way. No snail kites either??? Still a better day than at the office!
Now that I think of it.......the sign has a "how the heck" did that get there thought process to it.....or maybe more like "why?" did they put it there!!!
I hate that about the LCE......it does minimize the fog. We need the restore fog filter in PS.
Very nice Robert, I like the sign as it gives it a story, and anybody that puts a sign out here I think means business. It has the feeling "Trespasser will be shot" thanks for sharing
Im not a fan of the sign, but i always try to eliminate hand of man. I like the centered comp here. Pretty balanced with the green. It seems a bit too contrasty for me, I'd be interested in a version without lce. Gotta love those cypress though.
Sign is easy enough to get rid of but i left it there as this, as you well know, is a pretty common occurrence in FL. Hey I got rid of a headless anhinga (had his head buried under a wing grooming).
I did the LCE because I am going to print this and on mat paper, the LCE helps a lot to make the image pop.
