The wet, slimy, gritty green adds such impact...

Great capture. I like how it has applied a nice layer of camo makeup.

Hello from the Critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge.

This is probably the most golden hour I've ever seen! If I'm perfectly honest, which I always try to be, its not entirely to my taste but it certainly captures that early morning moment well and it fulfils the challenge brief with the morning mists. I get the impression that you have applied some saturation, I may well be wrong but I think this would work better with some desat to reduce it to more pastel shades, I find the vivid yellow of the water hurts my eyes. By doing so it may well also bring out the mists on the water itself as opposed to just the darker background. Having said all that, I appear to be in a minority here so well done with your score, result and positive comments

Here is what I like about this photograph: Great composition, extremely nice focus, very nicely processed and that it looks HDR i.e. shows all the different shade without losing any details by either dark shadows or blown out highlights. The horizon is level and everything is clean and sharp for the most part.

What I don't like: This is just a nit-pick but there seems to be a lot of noise showing in the clouds.

This is very nice and I hope it does well.
