Rising from the Mist

Heavenly trees!.. The blue that makes me cry every time I view this picture... What are the words when the beauty is so utter?..

Valentina, I'm glad you like this photo.  It has been somewhat of a "sleeper" for me -- not much response at first, but those who comment seem to have a very strong liking for it.  I'll admit, it has grown on me as well.

the surrealistic and minimalistic quality of the image in blue monochrome is very unusual, unexpected and powerful

I like the blue. In the film days I would say this is due to reciprocity failure but it is probably digital and ocurring naturally. thank you for sharing.

Tony, this was on film (Velvia).  I hadn't thought much about the strong blue, except that I like it.  It was so long ago that I don't remember the details, but I can remember the experience of walking along the beach.  I think this is just what film does in really foggy conditions, and it may be underexposed as you say.  Fog should be white, not blue.  My photograph of Ramona Falls is much the same, and probably for the same reason.

I like this one. Very mysterious.

Dream work!  Best Regards,
