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.

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
