The pastiness of this image, and the fog, was created using a clear cokin system filter unevenly smeared with vasoline! Still experimenting with impressionism, and how to create it in the camera.
I was playing with the title, and changed it last minute, but really, it should be "In the Mist of Impressionism".

I personally don't care for this thick black border with this shot, maybe a smaller, more subtle border would have worked better, the border seems to overpower the beauty of the shot in my opinion.
good luck with this one...i hope it doesn't get buried in the pack and overlooked. it really took me a while to get it. at first glance, it almost looks like some kind of duck. if this doesn't do well, it's only because people didn't give it enough time. it's a little heavy on the fog, but all the same, a beautiful image, and one that should be seen to be appreciated. good luck!
