Hi guys,
This is one from the archives and its never been one of my favorites so I haven't showed it here. But, since it was just announced as a finalist in the Adirondack Center for the Arts juried photo contest I decided I'd share it. Strangely it beat out some of my more favorite images- guess it goes to show you that everyone has a different taste! So, let me know what you think! Thanks!

Cam,

Simple is almost always good, and this image is no exception. I really like that tree line is backlit by the brightest line of fog, keeping the interest of the image right where it should be.

Hey congrats on having this image as a finalist. I'm betting it was because of the simple nature of this that it beat out your other favorite picks. good luck.

Hey, is this a color image? I'm seeing a blue tint in the bg, so I'm assuming so. I'm wondering if taking this straight to b&w would make a difference? just a thought.

Lon

Nice atmospheric simplicity here. At 1/1250 it should be sharp!

Hi Cam - I do like the simplicity of the image a lot, especially how the fog is dancing around the trees along the ridge. Congratulations on being selected as a finalist.

I like it but feel it needs more. There is a lot of negative space that doesn't enhance to me. Still love the mood and lines, just maybe another ridgeline would take it up a notch for me.

Simply beautiful.
How the long shadow lines on the lower left change to the tree silhouettes on the right upper corner.
Thx
