I like it! I'm wondering how it would if you would pull the highlights less, in the sky/clouds in particular.

Great atmosphere with the light and the fog.
Bravo.

Thank you, gentlemen.
Armand, as you can probably guess, it was quite a difficult exposure. The highlights in the clouds, upper ROF, were blown and even though I was at base ISO, I couldn't get them tamed. And things were rapidly changing as the sun got higher, they got brighter, so I moved on. I did pull the sky down in post to try and balance it with the foreground, but then I just tried to remember the atmosphere and how I felt at the time.
