I had dropped my oldest son off at daycare and was driving north to take my youngest to the doctor. It was a very foggy morning and as I passed Puhoi I saw this tree on the rivers edge so I turned around and fired off a few shots. I like foggy mornings.
Interestingly this is the second shot I've entered to DPC in a row where it was taken in full manual mode, rather than Av or similar. I rarely go into manual but it seems to be something I should do more.

Post Challenge: 4th is good but this score would have got a ribbon in the previous 10 Open Challenges (I didn't look back further) so it's a little disappointing to miss out. Thanks for all the votes (except that 2)
