 Taken on a weekend camping trip to the Rocky Mountains. It rained for most of the weekend.

Post-processed with PSPX: straighten horizon, adjust brightness/contrast, overlay grey layer adjustments to enhance mist. Merged layers, crop, apply some digital noise removal and usm.

Post-challenge:
Wow, a personal best for me! Thank you DPC voters. Special thanks to those who left comments.

I took this picture just after sunset between rain showers at 10:04 pm. I did not use any filters or do any colour adjustment with PP.

What a gorgeous landscape! I love it when fog / mist hangs in the air like this. The reflections are icing on the cake.

I like the mist and stillness in the image but feel there is an overall blue cast that doesn't quite work for me (MHO)
