On of the bridges in Acadia National Park. This one carries the Loop Road around Otter Cove. Due to the fog I spent some time simply roaming, driving down almost every street in an around the park, particularly ones that weren't on the map. This little road was one that neither my map nor my GPS listed, and it led under this bridge and out to the edge of Otter Cove.

Its a nice shot...calm...and i like how the road leads you into the scene! The mist sets the scene and gives it a sureal feel. Only little comment if i may...the top of the bridge is not quite horizontal, but this can be fixed np with a little TLC and PS (sloping to the left).
Photo creates a good atmoshpere and a natural look. I like it. ;)

Scottes this is a nice picture. You did do well even during a foggy day like you had. Good job.

Beautiful shot, very, very peaceful. Makes you want to just amble on down the path.

Wonderful composition, Scottes.

I love to just follow my nose around places like this either in my car or on foot! Sometimes the best shots come from that wandering around.

Very nice Scottes, I like the winding road through the bridge, draws the eye in.

Lovely picture. My only suggestion would be to crop off the area above the top of the bridge. That'll really help to focus the photo onto the winding road in the distance.

Seems like something is missing this way, but it does work, too.


This shot makes me wish it had been even more foggy... It's just a little too clear for the mood.

I like the original uncropped version better - but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :D

Great use of the "S" curve. I prefer the cropped one, by a small margin. Very nice.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. Actually I don't think there's much in it between them - I'm just fussy! :rolleyes:

Terrific shot, Scott! I love the windy road leading into the fog. The colors are wonderful! Gives you a feeling of a lonely road on a wet morning...can almost feel the moisture in the air :D Nice capture on a foggy day!
