So subtly gorgeous. I can't look at it and not see the trees gracefully swaying their branches and dancing. I don't remember seeing this when I was looking through the challenge earlier this week, not that I was voting anyway. I'm sure glad others took notice and put you in the top 10.

You made a great choice leaving they misty greyness rather than pushing up the contrast and making the trees darker, which is probably what I would have tried to begin with. That would have easily made this too cluttered.

Unreal but real. Delightful but subtle.
