"Autumn Bonsai"
What's up guys! Long time no see ... hoping to stick around a bit more in these parts in the future. Anyways, here's an image from late September from a trip to the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia. This particular photograph is taken on top of Dolly Sods. I've been trying to create visually pleasing foggy images from up there for a decade, and I think I finally succeeded. Thanks for looking.

Unfortunately, the white NSN background doesn't lend itself to showing this one properly.
I think it would look much better against a solid black or really dark b/g.
That said, I do like it as presented esp with the colors showing in the bottom f/g,

Thanks for commenting John! I agree, the white NSN background doesn't help show many photos, although it does help to read text so I guess there is that :). Glad you liked the image.

Great atmosphere. I like the hint of color at the bottom - the greens and reds help anchor the image and the foggy cloud surrounding the trees is balanced well compositionally.
