I love capturing photos with a sense of mystery. "Approaching the Beauty" was captured shortly after dawn, from a point of view that featured the winding driveway through the green field, while also just hinting at the buildings over the hill, and capping it off with a misty fog and a subtle beauty of colors and clouds in the sky. Processing involved highlighting the foggy area with a radial filter in Lightroom, as well as increasing exposure to bring out foreground details while using dehaze to make the colors pop a little. As usual, I brought out the shadows and reduced the highlights.
