Beaver Dam Pond + repost

This particular morning the fog was pretty much localized around Beaver Dam Pond and imparted a lovely air of mystery to the scene. Unfortunately the fog dissipated rather quickly, but I did manage to capture this one before it was gone.

As always thanks for taking a look and leaving a comment or suggestion.

Magical and mystical! The streams of fog across the water are just lovely, and the soft greens very compelling.

Ed, this one has a very pleasing, serene mood to it. These early spring colors don't last long, but you caught them at just the right time. I love these birch trees, and your composition has done a good job of distributing across the scene to create some visual interest. Very nicely done !!!

Great mood and feel to the image. For some reason, the horizontal log right of center pulls my eye and interrupts my flow through the image. I might clone it or burn it? Not a big deal though. Beautiful.

A St. Patrick's Day type image. Love the soft greens, the season is coming , I think. The birch break it up nicely.

Ed this is really nice. I really like the misty muted greens everywhere in this. The tree trunks add just enough accent.

Thanks for your thoughts Neale; always appreciated. I think I prefer it with the fallen birch also. It would be boring if everyone always liked the same exact thing. cool

Ed, you always seem to come away witj some great shots from this non descript loacation. The greens are succulent and the rising mists add some great mood I prefer it with the original devil

log.

Ed, this is really nice. As you noted the fog adds to the mystery and mood of the scene and it also helps to simplify the scene a bit. I also like the green glowing appearance from the naturally diffused light. Nicely done!
