### Description

We were in Rocky Mountain National Park for the first time and driving along Trail Ridge Road. It was a little foggy at Estes Park, but the fog was getting very thick as we drove up in elevation. We stopped at this point; my husband refused to drive any further. I jumped out to take this photo of the disappearing road.  
We did have a picture-perfect day at the end of our trip and got to drive Trail Ridge Road in its entirety. What a treat!!

### Specific Feedback

You can barely make out the wooden fence in the mid-right. I left this fence in the photo; I liked how the fog was enveloping it. Perhaps I should have made it more prominent? I liked how the fog got thicker around the curve leading to “nothingness”. This was a B&W conversion; I am new at this technique and am happy to get critiqued on this image. I generally like contrasty B&W images, but with the thick fog I kept in softer and lighter, maybe too light though?

### Technical Details

Canon 80D, EF 24-70 lens, 1/2000 sec at f/5.0  
I did use the LR Denoise.

Mary, I think you’ve handled the fog well. It shows throughout the frame, which makes the road disappearing around the corner feel just right. I also think the fence is handled well…challenging to see, but definitely there.
