Dawn Mist

Taken on Courtois Creek in Missouri, I paddled upstream by kayak for

15 minutes to get to this spot. This is one of the few spots where the

creek runs east-west and we see the sun rise facing upstream. However,

this awesome light lasted only a few minutes, the sun then went behind

a cloud and everything went grey, but it was worth it all.

very nice atmosphere and moods

Perfect lighting, Robert. Too, I really like the way the blurred water combines with the light mist to give an overall pastel feel to the image without softening it. The little detail of that barely-lit water plant in the foreground serves the traditional anchor role with real subtlety. I had to think about it before I noticed its effect.

Added to the favorites.

Great composition and light, and I agree with John about the foreground.  Also, described like a true landscape photographer.

Really beautiful work with impressive lighting. Best regards.
