A frigid morning in the Ozarks had me in search of heavy frost and fog. A distant farm valley offered this scene up.

Post processing-wise, I cropped to a 16:9 to remove a thin strip of the orange sky from sunrise. Both were nice but this version keeps the focus on the valley. I brightened the image up significantly in places to maintain the cold, frosty feeling, and pushed the cooler tones where necessary. Gear: Nikon D3200, 55-300 mm, 1/2 s, ISO 100, f/8.
