In lieu of words... > 8

Ps: The inclusion of the two aliens (red and blue) not only provides a good size reference but also an apt visual anchor.

The fog in this shot is great, as is the shot in general, I would have liked it more without the people though--just my opinion, would of had a more lonely feel, they seem to distract from the beauty around them.

I love photos like this. The fog makes some beautiful photos when the photographer is in tune with it :) I like to think of 'fog' as an assistant to the photographer. It, in some way, makes you more like a painter and helps you start out with a 'clean' canvas. Along with that notion, you have done a nice job by placing the 'walkers' in this scene. They serve two purposes here. They put the size of these giant trees into perspective. They also provide that 'serendipity' element that always seems to work nicely when used effectively. They really become the subject of the photo, even though they are only a very small part of it. I love the red jacket... it's really eye catching in this photo.

The wide angle view is definitely the only way to go here. It helps pronounce the vastness of this landscape. This particular image also shows a good example of 'perspective distortion'. When you look at these trees, the outer trees seem to be leaning inwards. This is a distortion caused when the film plane (digital sensor) is not parallel to the subjects. Your camera is slightly angled upwards and creating this distortion. In your case, there is no way to 'correct' this with the camera. This is where the medium and large format cameras come in handy :)

Excellent photo... Kudos :) = 10
