I shot this while driving my kids to school on a splendid cool fall morning with my little P&S. The light was outstanding, the colors remarkable, and the fog floating on the reservoir in Groton, CT.
Editing:
Opened in Elements 6
Adjusted levels, Hue/Saturation, Curves, performed noise ninja to smooth water and sharpen trees. Minor dodge and burn and sponge to bring out details. Cropped. Very minor cloning to remove edges of branches along edge of photo in lower right. Save for web, opened and noise ninja and selective colors to increase hue/saturation of reds etc.

eta: I've driven by this spot countless times, sometimes with fog there. And I've never had my camera with me! Nice lighting, too! BTW, this was my 1000th comment, too.
