We like #2 the best. Does increasing the range help it at all, or detract from the wonderful misty mood?

Thanks everyone, for the kind words. It is rut season so I will be back over to the valley this weekend and then spend three days there the folloeing week. Love this time of year.

garyrhook .... the fog image actually looks much better when it is full size. I printed it at 16" x 20" and I think that it looks pretty good ... considering the photographer that took the shot!
