i really like the colour and mood. the only thing that bugs me is how tight the crop is over the trees. i'd like to see just a little more sky...IMHO...

very nice shot! would look great framed, i think!!

I can feel a 'sweeping' across the landscape.

I had two pics to choose from and my other photo (http://wendyclaire.smugmug.com/photos/222158174-L-1.jpg) I focused more on the field of fog. What I remember of this foggy morning was the brilliance of the sunrise and the dream state across the landscape. I wished I had experimented with different settings. Thanks for your comments.

Its a nice pic..beautiful environment..But the composition is a bit off for me.. The trees are missing the top and on the other one the background is a bit wierd. If you had put some time when you took these pics they would have turned out great..Cause everything else about em are!

Im just being honest now

I like it. It kind of looks like a painting. A lot of mood in the color

Very nice atmosphere. The fog really works.

I agree with most others here. A bit more at the top would have kicked it up a notch. I don't think anything would be missing having cut off a bit of the bottom foreground, but leaving the tops of the trees and little sky above them would have taken the shot from "good" to "great" (IMHO)

For me (or at least on the screen I'm viewing on) it seems a little too dark also. However, that is something that changes depending on the computer monitor a person is seeing it on.

I'll be in the field again for sure. The only way to learn is to stick your neck out and ask for advice, learn from others and try again! Thanks!
