Terrific light here, Mitch. Can't believe you were able to capture the mist so palpably yet have excellent definition on the fisherman, pier, and chair, too. Tones are superb. #6214251

Dianna Hauf July 22, 2008

Nikki and Patrick said it so well! At first I thought it might be your hubby taking some time for rest and recoup! It is truly wonderful that your were able to capture the lighting, the mist and keep your fisherman in composition! I do so love the tones of blue here as well! VERY restful and peaceful image Mitch! #6216104

Melissa, Shelly, Dave, Susie, Carolyn, Patrick, Jeff, Kitty, Nikki, Dianna, Kathleen, Candice, and Amalia--my thanks to you for your great comments. Dianna, no, not my husband. I'm ususally the fisher in the family, but lately I've gotten lazy and can't decide if I actually want to catch anything and then have to clean it. :) #6225663

Phil Stith July 26, 2008

Super shot, Mitch. The only thing missing is a hot cup of coffee and a honey bun!!! #6233056

Thank you, Phil. Maybe he's got those tucked away there too. :) #6234088

What a great mood piece, Mitch! Fantastic light work, and a great story. #6253873

Mitch Spence August 02, 2008

Colleen and John, thank you so much. Colleen, I guess you must have come to the Lake for vacations. We did too, and that's how we ended up here when we retired. John, I appreciate your lovely comment. It is a pretty place, well, at least when the summer wave runners stop their buzzing about like bee swarms. :) #6261895
