Last week we had a holiday in Spain, and on one of the last mornings I went out pretty early. It had been an clear night with relatively low temps. I wanted to shoot against the sun, and was pleasantly surprised that it was still cold enough for breath ‘clouds’.

I lightened up shadows a bit, added some contrast as to have a breath stand out better, and warmed the overall color tone
Hans: This is a really special image. The overall mood is enticing the pose and of course the breath make this one for me. Such a great image. I’m sure there are many, many ways to process an image like this. Your presentation is very nice.
Fantastic, beautiful and incredible! Time lapse shooters have a type of capture they call the Holy Grail – it isn’t the same thing but I think this is the still photographer’s equivalent.
Thanks so much @glennie ; I usually do not post more than one image from a series, and therefore provide the link, people that want to see more can do that there ;-). Great you did that !
Wow, that’s a nice surprise ! Thanks a lot for your comments and support, and thanks to the Editors for their work and tireless energy ! Wishing you all a great 2023. A humble Dutchman
Cheers, Hans
