This is my favorite spot on our property. The dog and I take our morning walk through here. There was heavy fog this day and I thought it would work well for this affect; I don't think everything does.

Thank you for the comments and the generous score.

I had mixed feelings about my own attempts at applying the Orton effect, but this works so well. I think your choice of image and your application are spot on. Nicely done, Mary Ann. Congrats.

Congrats, knew this was the winner as soon as I saw it, and my top mark went to you!


Come over anytime and visit; although the summers are wretched. We live on a farm and part (this part) is wooded with pines and large oaks. The rest is pasture with cows. This was taken just beyond where the "Dappled" entry was taken, behind the pond.

I was about to congratulate you then read the bit about "On your property" then after a moment of jealousy would like to say what a fantastic photo and congratulations. What would be a perfect addition to your property would be some sheep:)

Who doesn't love a misty mystical ethereal and dreamy image like this. Good use of blur and beautifully processed, in my top picks.
