Coming back to comment...
I have returned to this image several times to comment and keep ending up leaving without that comment. I gave this a 10, and every time I look at it, still think it's a 10. It's beautiful. But, I can't for the life of me, figure out what I'm actually looking at. |

| I can actually see the mist moving. Well, okay, I can't, but it seems like it. I saw many of this scene this past summer, and photographed a couple. But this looks like it is happening, right now, in front of me. The tones, the focus, the sharpness, all work together to make this seem here and now... great work! 10 |

| Very nice capture, but I'd really like to see some of the darkness cropped out. I think this one would be better served in a portrait orientation as opposed to the square that you have provided us here. Great, cool tones. |
