Fog is always so cool. Very minimalist approach to this, something you are very good at. Very nice greens. Great as is, no critiques from me.

Very moody shot of this spot. My eye immediately drawn to the green, but then lead through the rest of the shot to the trees. Beautiful quiet shot. Thanks for sharing it.

Wonderful Morris, not the smallest nit in this one for me. I particularly like the glow on the grass in the foreground.

Morris, this is really nice. Beautiful light and wonderful composition. I don't know how you could have done this any better. The pines, grasses and rocks set in this fog just as you did it are perfect imo. Really nice!

Hi Morris,
Mysterious and peaceful. Fog is so wonderful to shoot in. I love the FG elements and your composition here is very, very nice. Overall, I like this very much. I do wish there was some detail in the deepest areas of the fog to balance out the scene a little bit.

Thanks everyone!
Yes, Dan, this was that same morning on the way out.
Michael, I kept waiting for some shadows, at least of some trees in the background to the left, but the fog was just too thick and wasn't going to lift in the time I had to spend here.

Very nice scene Morris. The greens work well with the fog. As mentioned, some detail in the upper left would have been nice, but still a great image.

Home run Morris! At first glance I thought the empty space in the URC was too much but the more I look the more I like it. If some trees were showing thru the fog on the left it would be absolutely perfect, but I still give it a 9 out of ten as is. Nice work.

I was not too excited when I opened this, but more I see more I like it. It has a strange emotional component that is subtle but captivates

Fog add mood to this photo. I like you used the rock on the left and right to balance the frame.

Fine moody image, Morris! I definitely like this one. The open negative space works very well in adding a sense of mystery.

Morris,
I must say those conditions that day were worth loving! I really like the natural "orton" effect in the grasses and the fog, of course, creates such a wonderful, quiet atmosphere. I also really like how the treeline fades in to obscurity; if you squint hard enough you can follow, or imagine the trees in the background. A lovely an memorable moment.

Very moody and beautiful. I like the fact that you can see detail in the foreground grass so the scene seems to fade out into the distance.

Phenomenal Morris. Absolutely phenomenal. Love how your composition grounds the viewer with the grasses, rock, and the trees on the right and then the land disappears into infinity in the fog on the left. Incredible. One of the best 'fog' images I have seen.
