Thanks, Bob! The play between the late afternoon light and the misty mountains that day was an awesome sight to behold. I'm just glad I was ready with a camera. :D

Thanks, Rob! You know, I had the same thought about this image's three-dimensionality. I'm glad someone else agrees with me...make me feel less crazy. :D

Thanks, Doug! The Olympics are such a beautiful sight to behold, especially when the right light is on them. I'm happy you enjoyed this shot. :D

Sweet light indeed. The red tugboat brings the image together nicely.

Really nice photo!

Thank you! I was glad to see that beautiful light on the Olympics, but when the tugboat came by, I was in heaven...I knew the shot would be good from a compositional standpoint too.

Thanks, Ron! A little bit of haze (ahem...I mean fog) can do wonders for photography and diffusion of light, as you already know. :D

Thanks, Jack! These scenes aren't so unusual in Seattle. The light I was able to capture may be, but tugboats are a dime a dozen. Still, I love they way they look. :D

Thanks, Chris! It's funny you should say that, as I have a close up of just the tugboat and one of just the mountains and the lovely light. :D

Thank you very much, Ray! How is good old Don doing? I remember the last time I spoke to him, he was giving up his day job and becoming a professional nature photographer. I'm sure that's going really well, given his immense talent. Please give him my regards also.

Very nice as is!:clap

But tempting...

... go more silvery

... or go more punch...

It's somewhere betwixt and between.

If it were mine I'd play and play some more. I think it has a surprise waiting to be discovered.

That lighting is just divine, but you get all the credit for capturing it.:thumb

I love this one! Very nice lighting in the mountains.
I've always wanted to try getting some kind of similar shot with the mountains as a backdrop. What focal length was this taken at?

Thanks for the poetic critique, Neil! You may have something there. I tried your suggestions and I liked the silvery effect. I still prefer the original but you gave me some nice ideas. Thanks! :D

Thanks! The dynamic range was tricky here, but that's why God invented bracketing. :D

Thanks, Danny! I always had something like this in mind, and the conditions that day were just perfect. This was shot at 330mm (429mm equivalent).
