It’s said that the more you practice the luckier you get.  This photograph shows both skill and luck.  What are the chances you would have your camera out, ready and prepared to photograph when this combination of elements all came together?  When you look at this image you will notice it is broken into three distinct horizontal bands; the mercurial water, the soft translucent fog and the cloud clad sky. 

A water fowl managed to place itself in the right spot at the exact moment of lifting off the water about to enter the fog and then the sky thus transitioning through all three bands.  This is the story told.

Our photographer might want to crop just a little of the very top of the image.  The rest of the illustration is full of texture and this portion of the sky is contrastingly smooth.   

When you watch a movie made in the 1980s’ or 90’s you will often notice the colored skies.  The camera person added a split color density filter to the lens to give some interest to flat gray atmosphere.  Most of the time it went unnoticed but if a little too much color was added it looked artificial.  I feel the color added to this sky is just a tad too much.
