Foggy Baptism

Gallery: LandscapePosted February 18, 2012309 views14 comments

Inland from Lake Superior, in N. Minnesota, the landscape is littered with lakes, rivers and elevation (which most of Minnesota is void of). On this particular morning, the sun was rising behind a ridge-line (the background in this image) and allowed the fog to continually rise late into the morning. I waited patiently until the fog created separation between the shoreline and the trees that cloaked the distant ridge.

I appreciate all the feedback on my last image, thank you all!

Comments and critiques are appreciated.

Very nice Ben. The fog gives excellent mood, and I like how the FG island (if that's what it is) is separated from the BG.

Nice depth and mood. The variance in greens really makes it.

Magic and mystical - glorious fog, nice greens, and good perspective.
Really nice image!

Bill,

It's actually just a bend in the river that helps create the depth... This part of the river is actually located in wet/boggy area. The more photographed section of this river is actually faster moving and full of rapids, cascades and waterfalls, this happens to be the still-water section of it.

This fog is a very strong element and adds a nice atmosphere to the scene. Can't think of anything to improve here.

Benjamin, your image is an impressive reflection of the atmosphere to me. I especially appreciate the natural colors and the way you show the diverse layers. It makes me feel like standing in the middle of the scene, experiencing that specific smell.

I can't believe this has gotten so few comments. The foggy atmosphere creates beautiful separation of layers among the trees.

Ben, This is very nice and I enjoy looking at it. It has a wonderful mood and really puts me there. The layers with the fog and different shades of green look great. Nice work! I haven't done any work along the Baptism River but this makes me think I should.

My kind of shot Benjamin! The mood is excellent, and the different shades of green with the white trunks interspersed throughout the frame really make this for me.
