Gorgeous, Gary. Very painterly as well as it reminds me of the English countryside as interpreted by so many artists. A quite calm and quiet image that speaks to a beautiful day just ahead.

The mist gives this a very ethereal feel Gary. Love the understated colors.

I think this is much better in a pano crop. Really like the soft feel here.

Very nice image Gary. The little touch of fog/mist over the trees really makes this one good. Nice atmosphere and depth.

Gary,

Terrific mood, atmosphere and of course the warm light; great combo of elements. I also think a pano crop would be effective here; maybe just to about a 2:1 format. But still, this is quite lovely as captured. No nits or suggestions.

Your images are so serene and beautiful. This one is a beauty. I also think cropping the brighter blue sky on top might be a nice option.

Thanks for the feedback folks.

I've added an image with a slight crop as per suggestions. I like both.

Cheers, Gary.

Gorgeous autumn colors and the mist rising over the river really adds a lot to the scene. The pink clouds add a nice balance to the golden grasses of the lower half of the image.
