Original image. I liked the original and so did lots of people (thanks!) but the very over-exposed sun was always bugging me, so I have cloned it out and hopefully have a more balanced shot. In Bordeaux, France. A large expanse of water, about 2cm deep, with small vents dotted around the place. Every 20 minutes or so, fine water vapour beings streaming out of the vents. The overall effect is very dependent on the wind strength at the time. It attracts an mix of people, such as tourists, families and passerby's, all waiting in anticipation for the 5 minutes of childish fun that everyone has running around in the mist.

I thought they were running on water.
Anyway, lovely picture, the lighting and the mist adds to the mystery of the scenery. I also love the angle of the shot, just getting the edge of the cement in the frame made it all the better.

The sky is far less distracting in this one, the cloning is good. The overall image is still stunning.

Works for me Rich. Losing the burnt-out bit is definitely an improvement. Love what you saw here, there's something almost oriental about it with that skyline and the steam, almost like a hammam.

What a find! Surreal and fun for them to know it is coming. Love the work on the skies. A striking compliment to the mist.

prefer the original even when the sun is a bit too bright, here the sun is gone ..... sad.....but i have to say a very good job, except you forgot the mirror in the water ;-))
