Very surprised this didn't finish much higher. Beautiful shot, one of my faves in this challenge.

Hi, Mona, I like this, although it almost makes me feel blue just to look at it. I think that's good. Congratulations on an excellent finish.

Nice picture. Great composition. Reflects a mood well. I don't think it does much to reflect the theme of this chalenge but it seems as close as most of the others at this point. I don't think you will get many bad comments on this.

i dream about trees like that!

The color enhances the mood; good choice. I think putting the horizon lower, showing more sky, would have improved the composition.

Well we all take good with the bad at times, all part of it.
Like color and feel of your photo, blue is one of my favorite colors.

Well then I won't leave one- great use of monochromatic effect.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This looks great, I don't like the blue tone but nevertheless the composition is quite good.

A worthy image for quiet enjoyment, with a very tangible depth (via the detailed expanse of the fore- and middlegound against the gradually increasing density of the fog in the background). The tree too, as a lone subject, is both as faint and well proportioned as in a scene out of Hamlet. The horizontal division of the photo into thirds makes good sense to me, given its overall simplicity and the duality of its primary subject - the visual transformation of a landscape under fog.

Given the wide postcard format chosen here, I would have liked to see the rule of thirds applied to the position of the tree in it to reflect the vertical composition, at least approximately. The (blue) hue too, is, perhaps, slightly stronger than credible under natural conditions.

All in all, a serene capture, which suffers from a somewhat trivial title.

This the worst photo I have even seen, you have no talent. Now don't feel bad. Very nice photo, like the effect.

Unbelievable! This is the crappiest photo I have ever seen! You suck at this! Give it up!

...How goes the resolution? ;-)

Very neat colors. The forefront really pulls you in. The crop is perfect.Good luck and HNY
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 11:24:48 PM
try cropping about 1/3 off the bottom? see how if you like it?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 09:46:16 PM
Hopefully the comments are more helpful than bad. I like the way you have created a theme to match your picture. It gives it feeling and purpose. Good job.

Great atmosphere in this one! I wonder how you managed to get the tree and nothin else in the background...

Good Resolution, difficult to walk the talk though.

Don't expect too many. This is a gorgeous shot!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

WOW! I really like this shot, the color and content are great.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 04:28:30 AM
Oh wow, this is so incredibly stunning I don't even think the fact that the challenge link is extremely tenuous will keep you out of the top five (By the way the title is awful - you should have gone with something that matches the emotionality of this scene). One of the most evocative landscape shots I have ever seen. 10.

good resolution. hope you don't get any bad comments on this, cuz it really is an interesting picture (i could imagine some "this is a stretch to fit the challenge" comments, but i prefer to view this challenge with a very wide mind and level of interpretation).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 02:46:26 AM
Here's a good comment to cheer you up, "I like it!" Just wish the horizon wasn't so close to the middle of the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 02:16:00 AM
You won't get any "bad" comments on this one!
- First reaction; That is so cool with the perfect tree surrounded by water. Where on earth did you find that....
With a little closer look, I see it's not water at all. I love the surreal feel of this one. The picture is stellar in every way. It is, however, much less direct at communicating a "resolution" and will rely heavily on the title to convey the affiliation. That takes nothing away from the picture, but it could cost you some points. Beautiful work!

this is just an awesome photo, however i feel it doesn't meet the challenge. It relies solely on the title. I cant vote, but if i could id probly give it a 6 or 7, if it fit the challenge more i could give it a 9 or even 10. I really like this shot alot, and i could see why you'd wanna submit it. I might try a bit of a different angle though, to get the horizon either in the top 3rd or bottom 3rd of the photo, depending on waht seemed more interesting, ground or sky. thats just me though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/02/2005 01:11:44 AM
You want bad comments?!
I'd preffer a picture with the horizont line at the lower 3rd line of the image i.e. cropped ~30% from the bottom, and then to preserve the aspect ratio, crop another 30% from the right.

How's this for a bad comment?
