 Went out to see what I could find on a foggy morning. Found ducks :-) Loved the way things appeared and disappeared as they moved through the fog.

Greenwinged Teals, male, in case anyone is curious.

PP - converted from RAW, straightened, cropped, white balance, made colors consistent on ducks, levels, increased contrast, cloned out one duck and a plant+reflection, slight diffuse glow, white vignette, resized, USM.

Just beautiful. Not in your face. Just a fleeting moment in a wild bird pair's day.

Great focus, but I'm not liking what the white vignette does to this.
