Morning Fog Rising

[Mark Fuge]

I was waiting for my printer to complete it's session, so I thought I'd try my hand at a new image.

This image was shot on the road following our visit to Smoky Mts NP last year. I have added the original for your info. It was a very bad shot, though the windshield and across the road, as we drove down the road with poor light that day. But sometimes they can be fun too.

A number of modifications were forgotten, as I was just wasting time, but basically I used Fract, Topaz Adjust, Topaz Lens Effects and Topaz Simlified.

Enjoy!

This is the original, without touchups. I know ... it's really bad ...

[Dennis Bishop]

You certainly made the original into something else. The colors are amazing, and so is the effect in the mist. I think I'd like it even better if there were a little more room between the top and the frame. That, and if the dark blue rise in the upper right weren't there -- so the eye followed the brown that's curving down to the lower right.

Mark, Great save! A little tight on top for me too. I might evict the halo line at the top of the ridge if it were mine. Great colors and the pano crop was a good idea. I love the way the blue at the bottom almost looks crystallized.

Excellent conversion, Mark. Love the crop and the colors. Another vote for removing the halo.

[Arthur Morris]

Very creative and love the colors. Yes to more room at the top and losing the halo.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Mark, a great conversion! I love the colors and the abstract look. One more vote for a little more room at the top

[Mitch Carucci]

I am always amazed at the creativity of some of the people here. What a great image!

[Maureen Allen]

Really nice, Mark. Great vision

Thanks all for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

Some days the juices flow and it's up to us to find a way to visualize it. This worked for me, even with the view blurps noted that can be easily fixed.

Thanks again.
