I wanted to share this image here as there seems to be a forest & fog theme going on. :D

Image
D700 + nikkor 24mm f/2.8, 1/20s @ f/11 ISO 1600 handheld, larger version

I wish I'd had more time with this scene. This was a grab shot while taking my two little girls for a walk in the woods behind our home.
Mental note: "Air Stagnation Warning" in the weather report translates into great shooting opporunities.

:roll: Air Stagnation Warning eh? More like run outside a capture a beautiful landscape photo warning. Wonderful shot! Love the color saturation for some reason that stuck out for me the light rays are wonderfully controlled with no flare, although that was mostly due to the tree that you smartly used for that. The whole thing just looks surreal wonderful shot!

Wow! Marvelous photo, I really like these sunrays and the combination of cold and warm tones!

los valles y los bosques y la humilde flor,
las islas navegando por la soledad...

I'm speechless.
That's perfect, really.
(I'm wondering how would it look like just a little bit wider, let's say with a 20 mm).
Apart from my curiosity, congratulations once again, and thank you for sharing also a larger version (that immediately became my wallpaper).
