I added light on the tree and cabin, plus I added smoke and changed around some shadows on the bottom left. I was playing artist in my mind and not photgrapher. I show and sale paintings for extra money and I swear to everyone...my mind was on overload and I did not submit this to trick or deceive anyone. Actually there is no excuse for not adhering to the rules.

I've beat myself up long enough! I put my camera away for the past 2 weeks. I just took it back out today and it felt so good to take images again!

Please forgive me everyone.

Very pretty - almost Bambi like! The soft focus combined with the luminous effect was a good choice.

wow it looks like a painting. Try getting your file size up to the limits and I think this would score higher. Your image is 94 kb and the max allowance is 150 kb. Using the most you can will get rid of the most little jagged edges and smooth out the foggy areas nicely. here is a tutorial on getting images ready for challenges if you use photoshop. I think this will do well anyway, good luck. :)
