Images Out of the Fog 3
This is from the same MRNP meadow as the previous paintbrush-fog-trees photo I posted and was taken on the same morning. Went really low and close on this here to try to inject a little interest into the picture.

Cheers,
Mike

Works for me Mike. This one seems to have a much better balance of light between the fog and ground than the previous one. This has a very interesting feeling for me given the damp and moody conditions combined with such bright and lively paintbrush. Very good processing.

Sweet. I like the depth this has. The drab scene makes the paintbrush really pop out.

Very nice. Evidence of the strong paintbrush 07 display.

I really like the low vantage point you chose and the lighting on the FG flowers in particular.

The surrounding and mistiness really enhance the flowers... :toast:

I love the low angle, as well as the atmosphere. Great shot.

Great shot - I like the later of trees that have the same darker feeling across the shot. The paintbrush look totally prime.

Really good work, here, Mike. Love the angle of view, as it shows the little nuances in the rises and dips in the meadow. The paintbrush is spectacular, and the angle you shot it makes it look like there's really a lot of blooms. And as always, love the mood the fog lends to the scene.

Love the mood of this Mike....well done!

Mike this is excellent IMO! I love the field of paintbrush and the dense fog engulfing the trees. A definite keeper to me, not sure what you could change to improve this piece.

Not bad at all. The two flowers in the blc bug me quite a bit. Seems out of focus and a little too close to the edge. I'd like to see that cropped out. Of course, that also means you lose the symmetry in the trees, so I dunno if the trade-off is fair.

Excellent shot here Mike. Wish I was there!
