Great shot. Love the ethos you imparted with the black and white. I assume the fog is an actual element of the shot and not an effect you added in post-shot work. Good job with the composition and the use of negative space for the top 60 percent of the frame.

This is lovely... the fog sets an extremely nice mood for this photo.

Pretty good detail considering how dark and foggy it is

I think the dark foreground on the very left is a little distracting from the main subjects; you might want to try a square crop starting just to the left of the boat to direct attention more towards the river and its "denizens."

Another possibility would be to crop off a bunch of sky and give it a panoramic aspect to emphasize the width of the river and bridge.

Nice composition on this shot. I think the border is too heavy for the photo.

My choice for best of show. While it's difficult to critique truly wonderful photos, here goes. There are four things to clone out. Everything about this image is soft and mysterious. The rock at the far point, where the water meets the land catches my eye. Like wise the same with a tube or a person positioned to the far left of the dock, as well as the two rocks or supports that interupt the curve on the underside arch of the dock. The device on top of the tallest bridge support looks very modern and out of flavor for the rest of the image. I would remove that also. Finally, I would love to see this in sepia. An absolutly great, great shot. Good luch!! 10

Well composed, mist creates a nice muted effect, gives a feeling of serenity.
