personal opinion- I would have liked the picture w/o the ball in it but it is still breath-taking

On preview I thought the ball was an Easter egg. I like the misty texture and saturated greens. Is the ball a little out of focus?

A higher Fstop or whatever might have helped focus... but overall its appealing. I really like the color contrast and combo. Good job. This one is going to be my new desktop picture for a couple hours.

I don't feel that the ball is necessary here. The atmosphere created by the trees and the sky can stand alone

I like the hazy sky and the rich green grass, though it could have been in better focus with the macro feature, if you have one. Same with the colorful object in the foreground. You did a good job of getting a sense of up with the tall trees, though I fear it might not be whip-lash inducing enough of an UP angle to please the crowd.

i think a little closer to the ball and a little more angle upwards would've helped this shot.

Great colours, great mood, great framing... the ball gives this photo a sense of narrative, while the mist in the beautiful, delicate trees creates a mood of contemplation.

I saw this photograph last nite late and i have been thinking a lot about it. First of all, i like the challenge interpretation. The mood of this shot is great with the fog. the depth of field and overall composition of this photo is very nice. The toy ball in this photograph disturbs me somewhat. It does add a spash of color to a photo that needs no additional help with color. I'm not sure what it's purpose is in the photograph or in supporting the challenge topic. I love the overall shot here but I would love to see it again without the ball and I would love to hear your interpretation of the purpose of the ball in this shot. good work!!
