Lovely photo but it's a landscape shot in horizontal view so I don't really think it meets the challenge. Sorry.

This could go either way, since the lines of the hills and clouds are all horizontal as well. I like how the single tree is poking its head up and above, as if to see what the others cannot. Maybe he's the sentinel and reports back to the forest. LOL Quite a lovely image.

This is wonderful. Gorgeous. It'll do well, and perhaps ribbon again.

The truth is, and please don't take this the wrong way, that I'm sort of getting bored of these foggy landscape shots. I like to think of dpchallenge as a platform for challenging you to discover and explore new techniques, processing, composition (although I do like this composition) and making people like it. Is there a challenge in taking these shots that you know will be appreciated? I don't know. But seeing how well they're doing for you I'd say you could try to challenge yourself a bit more! :-)
Perhaps I'm being unfair. I think I am, actually. Still though, I wrote it so I'm not getting rid of it! :-)

With all that said, still you get an 8 for this.
