This has a calming quiet feel. Downy soft. I like the effect. Might suggest to lighten up the llc just a tad as it seems too contrasty compared to the rest. Excellent shot.

Beautiful Michael. Love the pastels and the "movement" of the fog.

Michael,
Sublime colors and I really like the texture of the fog. Often times we see the extreme rolling fog with a much longer exposure. I really like the feeling and look of this.
Processing looks great, no nits there. The alternative suggestion is a slight crop from the bottom. Slight, in the sense I wouldn't want to encroach on the fog too much, but I think a slightly narrower presentation might help bring out the length of the clouds, but also of the ridge tops, which I like very much. Just a thought.

Lovely color, and I like the soft mood. I agree with Lon's crop suggestion, along with Ken's tip to bring up the detail in lower left corner a bit. I love the fog and the nice color in the sky.

I like the soft pastel color palette in this image. I also like the way that the fog is rolling over the foreground mountain. There is just the right amount of detail in the shadows in the large version.

This is a stunning moment you captured here, Mike. The mood here is very peaceful and serene with the pastel colors and the rolling fog as it crests the ridge line and dissipates as it cascades down. I also like the color combination in this landscape; beautifully done.

I love this. Has a wonderful mood and beautiful colors. To me, the framing is spot-on. Only thought would be to tweak the exposure in the land up just a smidge. Great work!

Michael, What a beautiful image this is! Very nice conditions you captured and those colors are wonderful. The larger version looks fantastic to me.
