This was taken on a hill near my home in yesterday morning's fog. Thanks for looking.

I like the atmosphere here. The isolated tree with the warm light is a nice contrast to the fog. I'd be tempted to tweak the contrast a little bit, but I really like the fairly simple shapes of the FG tree.

Mary, I really like the simplicity and symmetry here, and the fog is really nice!

Mary, this is such a simple, elegant image. The little tree looks so dainty and fragile against the fog and it's larger cousin. It also looks like the larger tree has dropped all its leaves while the smaller one is still hanging on to a few.

I wouldn't change a thing about this.

I think your image have a lot of potential. What I did was to push the colors a little so the tree stand more over the foggy BG which it gives a nice touch to the overall of the image. I hope you don't mind I made few changes to your image. :wink:

They both work for me. I love the contrast differences between the trees.

Interesting! I agree that the repost is an improvement.

Thanks for the comments all. I appreciate the time you took to let me know what you think.

Maxis: No I don't mind your repost at all. Pretty much always something to be gained by seeing how other's see things.....

Beautiful, I actually like the softer quality of the original over the repost.
