[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Hi dear friends,

I am late for this entry to the theme. A bad flu which doesn't finish and request all my energy!
So I dug in my files and found this one taken last May, the same day of this one .
Just before my village at the western side, the road passes by several mountains. Looking down behind me, I saw this sea of low clouds.


PP work,

From Raw I converted the photo to Jpeg. I just played a little with the curves and applied a smart contrast on the road.

Have a vey nice weekend and thanks at all for your constant support!

Bonjour Annie
Quelle merveilleuse vue sur cette mer de nuages. certainement pas facile a gérer au niveau de l'exposition et même un peu limite au niveau de la route qui est un peu sombre. je me suis permis un petit traitement hdr que j'ai mis en ws. En tout cas superbe contribution au thème du Vendredi. Bravo.

Hello Annie,

This is a fabulous pov.
I remember taking my children up a mountain in The Lake District and noting how awe inspiring it was to look down on the clouds. To them, it was like being in Heaven!

Your leading line takes the eyes into a leap of faith as they plummet into the clouds! What an exciting shot!
And, above it all, the hazy sun still shines down!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Annie

Oh my friend what an absolutley beautiful image, what an impressive view this is, almost lordly above the clouds, very good lighting control here and superb sharp detail. Nice soft warm colour tones and neat framing too.

TFS and for joining in the theme

P.S. Sorry to hear about the flu I hope your feeling better soon

I love fog photos. The soft colours are great.
I was trying to figure out how to crop your post to remove the FG distractions. I did not get a good result but I did try. And then the result was too small to post on TL. TFS.
I hope you are feeling perfect soon. Cheers. Karin

What a very interesting effect, Annie. The perspective is fascinating, and I like your use of line and the mood that your lighting captures and carries along. Were there a highway in the clouds, I imagine it would look much like this!

P.S. -- Hope you're feeling well again.

Hi Annie..this is beautiful..wonderfully composed...great light and tones...nice work.
