    Thanks, Eia! No softening at all in PS. The pervading mist did the softening for me. :D

    I really like this - it reminds me of X-Files for some reason. Was this an early morning shot?

    Another wonderful photo of trees and lighting.

    Did you take this and the Florida photo a couple of days apart? That is two excellent mood shots!

    Awesome shot! I had similar conditions near Second Beach in Olympic National Park after sunrise, lasted about an hour. My jaw was on the floor the whole time, just like when looking at this photo.

    Thanks, Larry! Yes, this was an early morning shot, as the sun came over the hills.

    Thanks, Squiddy! Be sure to be on the trails by sunrise as the best beams happen as the light just comes above the mountains. Good luck and please share your images with us! :D
