You make winter seem very appealing to a Florida boy. Lovely, lovely lovely shot!

Nice work with the strobes...
But seriously, this is simply gorgeous in every way possible. Galen Rowell was right about sunrises and sunsets, and you've certainly captured a magical moment.BTW: on my pan shot... I chose to make it b/w because I wanted an edgy, higher contrast look de-emphasizing the background colors, plus the rider was wearing black.

A dandelion shot earlier this year with my Casio EX-FC100 P&S.
Beautiful. Great light and very nice atmosphere.
Have you considered cropping off the dark snow at the bottom. (leaving the white snow just below the fog, otherwise the fog could be mistaken for a 'cheap' PS effect)
Wow, thanks for all the comments on the misty field shot. It's always interesting to see which of my photos people here find most appealing (it's not always what I would expect).
To answer a couple of questions: time of day was the afternoon, maybe an hour before sunset. And Oblomow, regarding the swath of blue shadow at the bottom: upon reading your question, I tried cropping it off and found that it pulled the 'base' out from under the image. I think that dark layer helps to 'ground' the scene. It also adds a lot of color, of course. I'm not following your connection of the shadow layer making the mist look like a "cheap PS effect." The mist is truly genuine, and the shadow was created (I believe) by a bank of trees along the river to my left. I'm not above using "cheap PS effects", but I didn't in this case!

Oops, misunderstanding here. (english is a tricky language when typed too early in the morning). I meant, IF (!) you would remove all the ground/snow THEN there is a possibility that the fog doesn't look real and just PS-ed. (because there is no base anymore in the image)
I know it's real and it looks real in the original photo.

Puget Sound from Ruston Way a while back. The concrete thing is a shower for those brave enough to swim here.

These two are adorable. Good job in each case of getting us "close" to the subject.

This is breathtaking.
Glad you liked the Cockatoo!
Here's a photo from the Japan Matsuri (festival) that was held in London in September. I liked the way the guy in the yukata is walking serenely through all the activity around him.

The Christmas season starts early in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I took this about 3 weeks ago. I just wanted to wait until after Thanksgiving to post it.

I really wish i had noticed that I was cutting off the end of the banner. I really need to start thinking about those little things when shooting
