This was a funny one, I was sat in the dining room having my morning cup of coffee wondering what I could shoot for 'The end' of DPL 3 and looked out of the window to see the fog descending all around me.
I grabbed my camera and fired off a few shots similar to this. In hindsight I think leaving what little colour I had in the image would have helped but decided not to enter it in the final challenge (it actually scored better than my 'The End' entry).
At 5 votes it was 6 and during the rest of the day it fell to 5.3 and stayed between that and 5.4 all week until the last days voting when it rose a full .6 - I don't think that has ever happened to me before.
As always, thanks for the comments/votes and a special thanks to Rich (streetpigeon) for such an elequent comment and favourite - it helped me understand my image ;)

Just beautiful. Absolute perfection. Minimal but not quite understated, since the birds are so dynamic. The wondrously rendered grain is integral to the sublimely delicate scene, a hint or suggestion. Feels like an epiphany.
