Nice shot but I think this would be fantastic in b&w.

Couldn't you pick a title that wouldn't confirm a viewers first impression of this? :-) Yep, it's foggy, soft, nothing to see here... Moving along now... Next!

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: I think fog can be quite hard to work with - I find capturing the quality of the light difficult, but you have done that here. I really like the coloration too - it hasn't escaped me that the bottom edge is black and the top is white and how we journey through green and yellow to get there. That subtle colour change guides the eye almost without us noticing.

Critical stuff: Because I like the white at the top, I'm not a fan of the vignetted corners.

Overall: Uber-subtle and effective.

Seriously eerie, but would like to see a little more detail in the foreground.
