A Frosty Morning

Spent last week in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park hoping to time the fall colors. This year was hit or miss, and towards the end of the week we had some over night freezes and even snow at higher elevations. I went out to Cades Cove three mornings in a row, and had a particular composition in mind that I set up for, but when the sun began to rise this scene unfolded down the road in front of me. I grabbed my long lens and ran down the road and made a few handheld shots before the soft light became too harsh. I hope you like it. Any suggestions for improvement welcome. Thanks for looking.
