Wonderful fog capture, Mitch! It's beautiful to see, but it's not fun to drive in on those mountains! #8778174Tammy M. Anderson July 21, 2010
Absolutely beautiful, Mitch. I love the Smokies. #8778281Karen Celella July 21, 2010
You have captured so many fine elements of a moody fog image, Mitch. Great fog caught by the fence and a nice variety of trees. Well seen! #8778290David Phalen July 21, 2010
Beautiful work Mitch!! Love the light, tones and clarity of the foreground backed by the moody softness of the fog shrouded trees!! #8778347Jack Ryan July 21, 2010
Excellent composition and that fog is breathtaking. Beautifully done! #8778365Carolyn M. Fletcher July 21, 2010

Beautiful shot, great color!!! #8778980Nikki McDonald July 21, 2010
What a wonderful mood this image evokes, Mitch. I always enjoy the layered effect a low lying fog or mist creates and you have the best of that here with the light just breaking over the foreground clearing, the well-defined fence, and the gradually fading layers of trees in the background. Lovely tones -- nicely done. #8779050Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna July 21, 2010

Beautiful Mitch! Is this in Cades Cove or just a field somewhere along your way? I lived very near the Smokies for about 2 1/2 yrs (like 40 min away). Justin and I spent quite a bit of time there but I didn't do much photography then. We will be going up there around Thanksgiving! I feel almost like its a 2nd home for me because when I was a kid, we always vacationed there, so I know the area well. Anyway, this is a wonderful image and congrats on your POTD!! #8803861Cesar J. La Rosa August 03, 2010
What a BEAUTIFUL photograph, Mitch!!! I'm so happy to see it as the POTD.Nancyj E. Hovey August 03, 2010
