This is pretty much the definition of a snapshot. I brought my camera out to the bus stop with my son, because I noticed it was foggy before I left the house. turns out, it was freezing fog! The light was hitting the humid cloud just right as the cars were coming up the road towards our driveway, so I cranked the ISO high, took my shot, and ran back to the car because it was cold (-2F).
This is the second Minimal editing photo I am submitting this week shot at 6400 ISO because I had to do it handheld!
WOW! Two ribbons in a row! Not sure if I have ever accomplished that before. And they are both minimal challenges. How crazy!

Wow, you are just killing it here now that you're back! Two ribbons in a row, you'll have to change your handle to Minimal Mike :-) Oh and of course congrats on a fantastic entry.
I like this a ton, Mike, and I would never have thought Minimal in a thousand years. That's just to say that this looks flawless to me - I always make allowances for minimal but none needed for this. Congrats.
Congrats on the red, Mike. Thanks for including notes. I can see now that it does qualify as a snapshot - even though it looks like fine art. (You got a 7 from me. Sorry about my assumptions.)
Okay, this is cool. My top pick so far. I like the minimalist of the composition. Like the B&W presentation. Has a somber fall/winter feel, but not ominous.
Looking at this longer, I think it strikes me because it feels familiar working those odd hours and driving home when no one else is on the road except that occasional car or lights from a business "over yonder."
