 I was out fishing that day when I saw this “thing” suddenly appeared from the fog and started moving toward me. I grabbed the camera and started shooting like crazy. I wasn’t thinking of any challenges, I just liked the scene. On the way home I came up with idea of Pure Mystery.
I like the shot very much and hope it’ll do well on the challenge.

Editing:
Rotate canvas, crop, levels, curves for contrast, USM, resize, save for web.
