Mitch, this is an exquisite scene with a wonderful sense of perspective both from the fence and the softening of detail!!!

Jeana and Melissa, thank you both very much. You might be interested to know that one of the changes I made, based on a suggestion, was to flip it. And I did. And it made a bigger difference than I would have first thought. It's the leading lines of the fence now coming in from the left instead of the right.

I didn't see the first image, but this is exceptional, Mitch. I do agree with lead lines coming in from the left as opposed to right. There are times when I do a flip, and left just seems to work better for my eye, anyway. I love everything about this...beautiful soft colors and you hit it right on with lighting.

Laurie, thanks a lot. I think sometimes we get so taken, or at least I do, with what we've done initially that we don't consider other possibilities, and I keep trying to remind myself of all that.

You are all wonderful for leaving such great comments--Kathy, Richard, Pat, and Billy. Man, Pat, I love "Gob Smacked." Billy, I'll check out your Cades Cove shots for sure. And oh dear, I just realized I misspelled "Smoky." Smokey, however, is as in Smokey Bear. Ah, well.

This is beautiful, Mitch. And thank you for sharing about flipping the image. I can mentally imagine it the other way and the difference is amazing. Reading comments such as this is one of the great things about participating in BP discussions.

It was, indeed, a some kind of gorgeous morning. I am most definitely not a morning person, so I think I was rather impressed with myself that I was out there that early and actually able to see the camera buttons. :) Thanks, John.

Carol Teal |
Very beautiful image and it has such a serene, peaceful feel. I used to live 45 min from Sevierville so I know the area well. I love Cades Cove and wish I lived nearby now to capture some of the beauty! Even though I didn't see the original, I like the fence coming in on the left. Love the fog and lighting too. And funny about not being a morning person; neither am I so I know what you mean! And congrats on your finalist!

This is absolutely fabulous Mitch! I don't know how I missed it the first time through your gallery! I would hang this on my wall ... a beautiful morning full of fabulous details. Love your choice of composition, leading fence lines, water reflections from the dew, great morning light, wonderful mist ... I mean, WOW Mitch, this is truly spectacular work!

Crystal, thank you so much. I kind of had stuff spread out before I did a little rearranging of the gallery. I haven't printed this one for myself, but my son wants one printed (I was flattered by that), so that's on my agenda. :)
