Where there's smoke....

Thanks Harley and Igor for your comments on my last post.  How often does it happen when a member can post back to back images in Landscape with no one else making a post?  Yikes.

Well, this one here is just slightly more dramatic that the previous post and hope it gets a better response.   This was in the early afternoon after Kyle and I had met up with Harley and had established our campsites - well me anyway, I'm the only one tenting it.  So the three of us headed out with Maggie (Harley's girl...) to hit the loop and look for opportunities.  Harley was the first to spot the smoke and motioned for me to pull over.  Harley posted a great image of beams through the pines and smoke of the nearby controlled burn.  I took a broader view of the river scene and captured this.  Of course it was captured in color and honestly it looked too much like smoke, the rays not good in the color version.  I thought the b&w presentation worked better.

Would love your thoughts, comments and suggestions.  Single frame, b&w a result of Nik's Silver Efex Pro 2

Thanks!
