 So soft. So Subtle. So Beautiful!

I had another shot entered for almost the entire month. It was a wonderful HDR scene with perfect clouds. But when I edited this, I knew I had something more magic. Anyone can take a photo of a sunset. Not everyone gets up early to enjoy the fog of a -5F morning.

This is one of the few times I put the main subject in a minimalistic shot on the right. I just gravitate to the left side, it feels more natural. But in this case, I love it on the right.

I've seen shots just like this come in 1st. Not sure what separates a 1st from a 30th but I do know this is nice. The Giant strikes again!
