This morning was foggy at the beach.  A rarity for south Florida, USA.  Playing around with the fog and long exposure of course.  I offer the original photo and a second with a filter layer I added in PS.  Thoughts?  Make it a great day.

I like this shot a lot, but can't help thinking the composition would be a little better if the figure was further to the left and not centered.

 

I can't make up my mind about which one I like better.  They both have a dreamy, artwork look to them.

Thanks for the comment. Technically the right edge of the figure is the vertical centerline of the image - it is not exactly centered - even though visually it looks like that. I played with the crop a bit.  Unfortunately of I crop much from the left then the sun get too close to the left edge.

Left or right, I think that cropping for the rule of thirds might help it, but I enjoy it as is...definitely an "art-y" painting-like shot...I prefer the first of the images, but either could work...

But the real question is did you catch anything?

 

 

I love fly fishing the beach.

This has a touch of Monet about, which is very pleasing.
