Hello from the Critique Club,

First, let me thank you for including so many details in your photographer's comments. Now for the critique. My first impression is that this definitely looks like morning fog and has an interesting subject. With nearly one third of your votes being a 5 and over half the votes in the 5 to 6 range, to me that indicates that the voters looked for literally 2-3 seconds and concluded, "this picture isn't bad, so I can't give 4 or less, but it doesn't have a lot of wow, so I can't give it a 7 or higher". For some reason, black and white images didn't score very well in this challenge. I also see by the comments left during voting that the large amount of negative space above the trees was a love it or hate type thing. It would have been safer to crop tighter on the trees, maybe in a landscape format, but the image might have lost some of its impact. Personally I like the portrait format and wouldn't change a thing. You have a very good image that anyone at DPC would be proud to have in their portfolio.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

only thing i can add is that there may be just a tad too much open space on the top, maybe taken landscape....

Nice and simple. I like fog shots.

The portrait orientation with all the empty space just doesn't do it for me. I would have prefered a landscape. Otherwise a good shot.

Too much negative space. if the contrast was a bit more stark rather than graduated from the fog, then the extra negative space may have been more effective. With those elements I would have cropped down just a bit and it would have been more effective.

One of my favourites of this challenge. Exceptionally simple yet very rich in implied location and tone. 9.
