Impossible to choose. I sort of just threw a dart and edited the image it landed on.
This image is from a September road trip with Sweetie. I always thought it had a lot of potential, but my editing just never got it to where I wanted it. Hopefully, that has improved as well.
Taken through the dirty windshield of the car. We came upon this stretch of road with a huge fog bank hovering over it. Originally edited to b/w, it was unsatisfying. I discovered the Topaz night filter and it gave me exactly the drama what I was looking for.
