Taken at the Kasota Prairie near St Peter, MN. Nikon D60 with 18-55mm VR lens.

Beautiful scene! I love getting early morning fog like this.
Did you manage to get any shots without the sun? I actually find it to be a bit distracting. One other thing I think could help is if you could darken that band at the top of the image a little. Other than that, very nice work!

Yes, I did get a couple with "less" sun in them.

I decided to sacrifice the top of the tree and eliminate the white band altogether.

I kind of like the white part band since it gives another layer to the scene, but this one is good, too. What a beautiful morning to wake up to

Cool shots. I think my uncle shoots here quite a bit, he lives up in Le Sueur. He's got some really cool stuff just like this. Great shots.

Jeez... I just realized it was you. D60??????? When did this happen? I didn't even check the username.
Cool. I've got some threads up in Landscapes, check em out. Nice "bumping" in to you.

Nicely done, Rick! I'm with Schmoo on this one. I too like the extra layer.
