Shot through fogged glass

Took this during a very wet and humid day in Costa Rica. The back of my lens got fogged up when I switched it out. Didn't realize it until after I took a few shots. This is one of the shots with the fogged lens. I kind of like the effect. What do you all think?

    It doesn't spoil things, that's for sure. It could be a fogged lens or just foggy air. Looks pretty good.

    Beautiful!

    Funny, before I read what you wrote, just looking at the image alone, I assumed it was the Pacific Northwest somewhere. Great DOF, everything is in focus. Must have been a very calm day, too; the milky water says it was a slow shutter speed, but the leaves and everything else are frozen sharply in place.

    Thanks Will. This area was very sheltered. Very dense forest so no wind. Come to think of it, I don't remember it ever being windy in Costa Rica, other than right on the coast.

    I like the effect too. That's happened to me before as well when taking a camera from an air-conditioned room out into tropical humidity. Mine was even more fogged than that. I think this shot might benefit from rolling back the highlights a little bit, or maybe you've already done that as much as you can. Great spot for a picture.

    Joel,

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it's happened to me several times but always to the point I couldn't see through the glass. I didn't even notice this time until after several shots.

    I did bring down the highlights as much as possible. The fogged glass give the highlights a glowing kind of look.
