I forgot to download my digitals after my fall trip. I did not shoot much digital and the card in the camera slipped my mind. The older I get, the more that seems to slip my mind.
Woah! It's like it snow, but only on the ground.. what a weird sight, thanks for sharing!

I like the colors in the top of the picture. The fog seems to be a little too bright
for me. I wish that it were softer and not so thick. However, if those were the
conditions, you work with what nature provides. Nevertheless, I still like this
unusual capture.
A very interesting look, Harley. Hard to tell how it might look printed up. I guess I struggle just a bit with the fog in this one. Sadly, I'm not sure what to offer up as any type of idea or what I'm looking for there. Maybe some toning down might change the look. Too bad the low ground fog was not scattered or broken up, maybe it's the almost solid & level blanket that is the part I struggle with.

The ground fog works for me. I like what it adds to the image here. An image focusing on just the fog and bg trees without the mountain face might be interesting too. Nice work!

Nice scene Harley, I like the shape of the oak in front of the yellow and greens. I see what they're saying bout the fog being too bright. I had that happen to me shooting there in the morning before. The fog overexposes during a longer exposure because the fog is moving and reflecting even more light during it's movement. It's like the high beams in the fog at night type of thing.
How did that sound? I'm bullshiting, that is just my guess.
I like this, Harley. The composition is dead-on. I do think the fog is a tad too bright. Fog is tough to work with because there is little variation in tone. The oak is very nice looking.
