Was coming home from dinner with my wife when I saw this lake filled with mist, and the snow was really coming down. I floored it home, grabbed my camera and came back to it. Took about 5 shots because it was getting so dark. Not one of my best shots, but I love the mist in the shot. It was hard to get anything sharp because of the snow was coming down like crazy. Did the best I could to save it. Hope everyone likes.

This is very pretty. I love the soft glow of the picture and the smooth and glossy features of the reflection. How nice of the geese to fly in for you at that moment lol. Very nice!
It's refreshing to see such a beautiful, soft shot like this at DPC. IMO it has been very under-valued in the scoring, but that's just the way it goes in the land of sharp-sharp-sharp. It's serene and moody in a way very few shots at DPC are. I've been wanting to get a shot of this ilk for a long time, but I'm not nearly there yet. Congrats on this wonderful work of art.
