Need some feedback on this. Was going back through a some shots from last fall and this was one that I originally did nothing with. After going back through I decided I like it much better now. Think it evokes some mystery as well as graceful simplicity. Your thoughts?

    What part of the world would this have been shot in?

    Maybe bump up the highlights a little?

    This was at the Stone Door in Savage Gulf, TN. Shot was taken last fall.

    Thank you for the feedback.

    I knew this had to be in Tn or WV. Love it!!! If you could bring out the hills just a tad so we can see the fog better?

    I quite like it! The muted green background gives the simple foreground something nice to sit on.
    I'm not one to stick to traditional crop ratios, so I'd simplify it further by cropping
    the top of the farthest hill. So it's a solid green shape, know what I mean?
    Other than that the only thing I'd change would be to very slightly lighten the leaves of the tree.

    It's got that serene look of those traditional Japanese prints.
    I'd hang it on my wall thumb.gif

    Very nice thumb.gif
    Have you thought of trying it as b&w, I think the simplicity of the composition may lend itself quite nicely.

    FWIW, I have an art auction this 4th of July and this was a late edition that I have at the last moment had printed and just framed today.
