 Extremely pleased with the response to this image. I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, a foggy day along the RI coast, and happened upon this scene. I want to thank Bear_Music for recommending this instead of others that I had to choose from for April. This was my favorite shot of the month but was unsure the DPC crowd would agree- and they did agree!

This comment made me smile. All the more so as I did wonder at first if it may have been Ben's, then I figured it was too sharp to be Ben's :)

I can feel the damp mist in the air. Well done, it's a great image
