Taken at the Shreveport GTG. Crop, levels, USM, resize, USM, save for web.
If anyone thinks I did a sepia toning on this look at the original.
The fog on the water, the sunrise lighting, and the trees and lake were all made by nature. Damn it was cold.
Here is the original shot.

Thanks for all the votes and comments. A couple of people have asked about the light spot in the upper left center. It is light coming through the trees on the far side of the lake. Basic editing wouldn't allow me to take it out.
I'd like to know who had it on their wishlist. Contact me.

Isn't that amazing! A photographer's dream to be in such a right place at such perfect conditions for a unique and artful masterpiece! Congratulations. . . now put it up for sale in the Louisiana tourist shops and get rich :)
Nice picture, I like the reflection and the color tone. The fog is great. What is the white area in the upper left?
The white part in upper middle left is light coming through the trees that are on the far side of the lake. Couldn't clone it out due to basic editing rules. Except for that light spot it is all trees in the background setting the darker tones.
Dude! Now I'm totally ticked we couldn't go! Both you and 'Spiff on the front page from the lake!! (See why I like that place??!)
Congrats on your top 10 finish! Beautiful shot! (And today...mine is POTD, lol!) Love the effects the lake just hands you!
Well done!!!!
this is great, I like the reflections of the trees; great capture of the mist; the sepia works well here just wondering what those little white specks are there in the top of the pic
Enchanting, but somehow has the look of being shot through a window? I think the water line would look good right in the middle, contrast needs a bit of upping and that sloppy mark on the left side of the main clump of trees should go. Definitely.
