Welcome to NPN. You will find that you can learn a lot from the photographers here, I have. There are a lot of interesting elements in your image. I think I would crop off the bottom up close to the bank, cutting out most, but not all of the foreground water. Then maybe work on the contrast to give the colors a little more punch.

Welcome to NPN Bobby. Nice first post. The mist adds a nice mood to the image. I'm quite familiar with this area and you've done a nice job.

Welcome Bobby! The fog adds a lot here. I would also play with a traditional horizontal crop, taking the opposite end from Richard's suggestion and removing some of the top.

Bobby - I think the image would benefit from maybe a slight increase in saturation and maybe a little selective contrast. Love the mood, but looks a little flat compared to the actual scene, which must have been fantastic to witness. Cropping to a horizontal with the emphasis on the sky would take advantage of the horizontal mnt in the background.

Welcome to NPN Bobby. Fantastic photo. It has great potential for further development. The mist is so nice but its almost hidden. It could use some tonal adjustment and some contrast to bring out the clouds in the sky and the mist. Hope to see more from you.

Welcome to NPN Bobby. It is very nice to see you here.
This is a beautiful photograph. Your composition divides the scene into sectors that work very nicely with the circular pattern in the clouds. Gotta love that low hanging mist too. You might want to experiment with a very slight boost in contrast, as some of the others have suggested.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Welcome to NPN Bobby. The fog/mist here is really nice. I agree with the others about cropping a bit off the top.
The image is a little on the small side which makes evaluation more difficult. NPN gives you the option to upload a larger version of your images up to 1200px on the long edge.
Don't be shy about commenting on the other images in the gallery. It's the best way to learn!
