Love these types of scenes. I wish there was a bit more detail left of frame, but you got what you could. Beautiful, serene capture. I bet you could have heard a mosquito cough from across the pond.

Pretty much perfect in my book. I really love how the detail fades away as you continue to the left. Real strong piece!

Ooooo... I like!

Coming from the southwest I'm used to dry, dry, dry air and I've always liked these shots with dreamy atmospherics. Now I live near Baltimore and it is actually foggy outside (but dark) and somehow I never actually get out to try one myself.

The trees on the right have an almost tone-mapped appearance to them, or like a negative clarity effect in Lightroom. Any post processing there or is it just the magic of the fog?

Anyway, very nice shot!

Picture North Carolina

Very nice shot. Is this toned or just the way it was?

I do love this type of scene but i would crop the left a bit tighter for me to much empty space
your eye is drawn to the blank space and not the trees which is the stronger point in the pic.
