On my way into work this cold, blustery morning, I saw this fog bank hugging some tidal marsh just off the main thoroughfare. I pulled around to get a better look and decided I could make something of it (I was wrong). The shots of just the mist were boring. I kind of realized this on site & started looking for a more pronounced subject. There were a number of cat tails along the edges of the marsh that were decently sun lit, so I trudged into position and captured a few. Up until I started on the cat tails, I was feeling quite lucky at not falling through the snow. Just as I took an extra step to get a little closer to one of them, I sunk in all the way to my crotch. It was -9 degrees out (I forgot to add that point). Jeans only retain so much thermal mass. . .

So I tried to get the cat tails and work on the lighting a bit. It was tough during Post Processing to get decent separation between the bright cat tails and the mist in the background. Turning this into yet another quad tone, seemed to help with the contrast a bit.
