 Waking up to find this scene at the lake was more than I could have hoped for. Wasn't really able to do it justice but being there in the moment was worth it!

Taking a chance with this one...I typically don't like to have this much sun in an image but it seemed to best suit the challenge of everything I shot this week. I expect there will be comments about the colors being too overprocessed but with the mist rising off the water, and a slight underexposure plus the lens flare, it brought out the wonderful gradient. I really wish the heron had been closer for a larger silhouette.

With just one sliver of sky the picture would benefit much. (as is, the sky is too yellow and occupies too much space)

I was looking over the thumbnails before starting to vote, and just HAD to look at the full view!! I was not disappointed. Lovely colors and misty image.
