This is great. I think it could be a bit more powerful in black and white though, since there isn't a whole lot of variety in the colors. Great composition though.

I agree about the color vs. B&W. The colors here are so muted they don't really add anything, so a nice punchy B&W would hold more interest. Also, I would crop off about 2/3's of the black at the bottom.

I love the streaming light through the trees in the bottom left of frame. Also, the definite line of clouds at the top seem to balance the dark base, and this dark area does give up reasonable detail in my view. I also agree about the b&w, but I tend to bias it over colour.

Thx for you comments, I'll try converting this to b&w and see what happens. What I loved about this shot is the light golden tones in the middle, but for the web version they don't really stand out. I think I'll try a couple different versions and see what happens.
thx again

maybe you can desaturate the sky but leave the golden tones in the center - could be an interesting effect.

Really great fog capture...too bad there was not some more fog creeping in on the foreground to give a muddled perspective...but that of course is beyond your control..

Potentially a great shot. Needs some cropping on top and bottom, in my opinion. Would make a great black and white with some added contrast.

Best,
Jon
