This might have done well in "After the Game." Nice control in the fog. :)

What a grand vista. I can almost hear their conversation. The only thing that bothers me about this image is their lack of feet. ;)

Nature's Fire

This must be a breathtaking scene in person. I love the colors in your image, but I want to point out a few things that I don't think are working well and how you might improve them. Of course, I'm not an expert so you can ignore my babbling. ;)

The shoreline cuts your image into two distinct halves...two halves are much less dynamic than thirds, which is why there is a rule of thirds. Rules can always be broken, and sometimes they work when broken, but I think in this case it works against you. The tops of the trees are cut off in the top half, and my eyes keep seeking upwards to find them. The smaller tree in the center is, well...in the center, which kind of draws the eye in and then you stop looking at anything else because therey's nothing around it to lead your eyes to anywhere else. There is a tree trunk on the top left corner jutting out at an angle that appears to come from nowhere, and is a distraction without adding anything to the shot.

I'd go back to this location, move to where the little red tree is more on the left, and shoot wider. Play with different focal lengths and then with different crops back at home. I think you'll see a difference in how the image can move you. Good luck in the challenge! :)

Will someone PLEASE move over!
