Forest and Fog
by Vance Gese
This forest in the Olympic NF of Washington is made up of mostly hemlocks with a few douglas firs and cedars scattered about. Waited for a foggy day to make this image of these trees this past July. Hope it looks okay without any odd color casts.

This is excellent! What is most interesting to me is the visual contrast between the clarity and detail of the main, forward trunks and the foggy, misty atmosphere of the background. Great job with the comp - which is usually quite a challenge with these vertical subjects.
My only suggestions - and no one else mentioned so maybe it's just me and my monitor.... but I detect a little magenta in the darkest shadows, mostly in the lower right in the secondary trunk. I haven't looked at it with PS, so I could be off, but thought I would toss that out there. Otherwise, the color of the fog and rest of the scene look great to me.
Good eye and capture.
