If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Looks a tad oversharpened. That's about my only complaint. Maybe I would also complain that there isn't one point for the eye to focus on, but a good photo doesn't necessarily need that. I must say, this is rad though. Love the texture of the trees! Trees and trees galor! I can almost smell the clean forest air! Ahh, beautiful! 8

A very green image here with many many trees and this certainly meets the challenge well.....

==Greetings from the Critique Club==

Composition
The overall choice of composition intrigues me because it's not really centered, it's not rule of thirds, but it's only slightly off center. I think I would prefer the horizon line just a touch lower, but that's just my initial impression.

Camera Technicals
Overall, the exposure is good, but the overexposed highlights create more contrast than I think is best for a "fog" picture. Fog would be best presented in a slightly "flatter" exposure, I think.

Post Processing
Seems well done, but the abundance of green destroys the "fog" mentality a little, so maybe desaturating or using selective color might allow the fog to be more dominant.

Challenge
I think it's clear you met the challenge, and the use of directional light enhandced that very well.

Overall Impression
My single biggest negative thought is that I don't "feel" the fog. Perhaps it was not dominant and wasn't intended to be, or it was difficult to bring it out. However, once you put that in the title, I really expected a more "foggy" image.

I hope you find these comments and thought to be helpful and constructive; they are simply expressions of my opinion and are not intended at all to be harsh or overly critical. Thank you!

To work for me I need some pattern or shape to draw my eye into the picture and create a subject for me to linger over.
