a misty Morning

Hi Robert     Very nice capture, The mist softens the colors and the warm tones making one feel calm like the scene. I think that is what I like the best is feeling this shot invokes. Nice composition.  My one thought would be to crop out  the trunk of the far left tree. If is fine as pictured but just thought would give a more direct line into the scene. Beautiful and peacful.  Best wishes  Sherry

Very nice scene, perfect composition and beautiful handling of ligth.

Nice work.

Best regards, HelgeB

Robert, you've framed this very nicely, and the mist adds a softness to the colors and lessens the contrast in a good way.  Having  foreground trees less affected by the mist is a good way to show mist/fog, IMO.  If I could alter one thing, it would be the brightness of the patch of sky showing in the upper left -- it just tries to command too much attention from my eyes.
