Foggy woods
Another image from last fall. I was out on a very frosty and foggy morning in early November. I was actually hiking out to a location for a different image. I turned around and saw this scene and stopped to make a few snaps before heading on. This was a trip I did not have the 4x5 with me but boy I sure wish I had brought it.

In PS I was going for the right mix of fog and contrast with a bit of color.

It is beautiful Darren. The contrast of a bright foreground and a misty background has created an awesome image,. :smile:

Darren, I really like the way the the light tones work with the two track - they lead you right into the fog and the mystery beyond. I'm wondering what a saturation bump would do with the leaves? Nice capture,

Darren- I think this is absolutely a great photograph. A very moody atmosphere, almost spooky. Like someone mentioned earlied about more saturation, I would really like to see this done in lab mode for all the colours available in this photograph. :toast: :toast: :toast:

This is very, very nice. Wonderful mood; great use of the light/fog and great placement of all the compositional elements. Exceptionally well done.

Very nice Darren, love the atmoshphere with the fog. Great comp as well. Almost looks like a glow on the white grasses in the fg, gives it a nice dreamy feel.
