This is the Murphy Complex fire, this was a small portion of the 69,000 + acres that are burning.
, I was inside the fire line about 1 mile away from the action with my own personal hot shot fireman. Crews where backburning/burnout operations. This is the thermal belt cap above the valley trapping the smoke, due to the higher RH.

What can I say? This is a fantastic landscape. The fog layers just work so well! And the blue tones are absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on your ribbon!
I guess this was the challenge for "foggy" wasn't it? And there I was out there in almost constant fog and mist, and I went INLAND to get sunlight on the hills, LOL. Wonderful shot, congrats on the red!
Beautiful mist - As to the tonality, the perspective is reversed producing a very powerful but unstable image and thus losing its minimalistic approach.
The background mountain lost its blue too much and seems to be from a different shot.
Beautiful photo. Mist always adds sooooo much to a scene. BTW, do I see a Grad. Neut. Density filter on the upper half? If it is, do you think a softer transition might be less noticeable?
