    Foggy morning at the pond

    Trying to see if I can save a shot from a foggy morning. Does this work at all? It was a foggy, flat morning so I thought I would see what I could get from it.

    I like fog photos so this works pretty well for me. Maybe a bit more contrast would bring the Canada geese out more.

    It works very well for me, also. Personally, I think aded contrast would take away from the mood of this shot. I like it as is.

    I tend to agree with Frog about the contrast. Some areas could be brightened up a bit, I think.

    Re: Foggy morning at the pond

    Thanks for the suggestions and comments everyone. I added a couple curves layer up the contrast a bit. What do you think of this version?

    Thanks Mike.

    I really need to get a calibrated system at home. The second version I posted at work this morning, looks a lot different now that I'm at home...
