I was busy doing chores around the house when I noticed the fog was rolling in when I glanced out the window. wOOt! The first thing I thought of was this challenge. I finished my chores, grabbed my camera and little girl and went to the cemetery. The fog was settling in between the trees...it wasn't really scarey but more of a calming feeling especially when I drove by this big statue.
I did a lot of burning to the background because I couldn't get the lighting just right on the angel. I also used curves and added a blue hue. I also cropped it.

Sonya, another great image from you. Your growth and change as a photographer has been amazing to witness and this is just another fine example of that. What will you come up with next?
Beautiful scene captured and the appearance of fog is perfect. The tone is a bit too blue for my personal taste, and the tonal range a bit narrow. I don't, of course, know what you were working with, but in a perfect world, I would prefer the statue not be tilted and cut off at the bottom, but it is a "nit-pick".
This is my second go-around =) - Very nice! I would have liked to see the bottom of the trees and ground burned just a little... get some contrast on the tombstones so they stand out more. Other than that I think you did a great job!
I am making two passes on this Challenge. I will vote on your photo then return later(before voting is over) to comment on what I like and dislike about your shot. You can take the comments however you wish and I will try not to be mean. Just don't take it the wrong way.

I like the foggy look of this. The border does nothing for me. It is a job well done anyway. Bumping up on the second go around.
