A thick fog bank rolled in while surfing/shooting hurricane Kyle leftovers at 70th street in VB and took this shot on whim. I ended up liking how it came out. C&C welcomed.

Very eerie. Good job setting the exposure and catching the mood.

Thanks Jenn and Art. It is funny how sometimes photos that are taken as afterthought turn out being the ones to find a place on the wall.

Great image, Travis. I agree about afterthought photos. I've often returned to a folder with old images and found something cool that I thought was worthless at the time.

I think it looks nice.
I'd also like to see a b/w version that is a bit darker for a more moody look.

Dan, Linda, and Tee... thanks for the comments. I may try a black and white version but the muted color is working for right now. :D

Very nice picture. Really like it for all it has to offer. Did try a quick PS PP
and failed to bring out more pop in the darks without wrecking the edges.
I didn't have time to detail small areas with burn tool just to get a look see. Again, sweet shot. :thumb

I like it except when I'm sitting in a boat a few miles offshore. Then it kind of makes things a bit more interesting. :huh
