I'm turning up my extended editing here by adding two things! The fog was there a little bit, but I added a lot more in Lightroom. The birds were no there at all. In fact, I took the birds photos about 2 weeks later than the scene, in completely different lighting, and a completely different lens. I tried to combine them into this scene as naturally as possible. Hopefully I did ok.

I love this scene. The beautiful pastels on the horizon and a nice balance of the dried grass and water. Definitely a tribute to new beginnings (i.e. spring). My favorite in this challenge.
