A sunrise shoot on Caddo Lake in Uncertain, Texas with a little mist remaining. The fog was much heavier before the sun crested, then burned off quickly. I was well into some weeds and trees to get away from some wicked loud air boats that came through the back part of this shot. They shattered our peace for sure.

Thanks so much @Diane_Miller - these weren’t the oldest ones we encountered, but they were pretty big. I’ve added a second shot up top with your suggestions.
