    Re: foggy winter morning

    Nick,

    this image has potential, I like the faded tones at the bottom, and the effect that the fog gives to the trees in the background.

    However, the horizon line goes right through the middle of the composition, even if you just cut some of the sky off the top leaving just a thin line for the top of the trees, it's more appeasing to the eye. What would be even better would be if you included more of the swamp/water at the bottom, and less of the sky.

    Also, I didn't see the bird until I read the text, maybe you meant to say can't?

    Is this the original, or a crop? You should post the original if this isn't it.

    I see the bird...white wings almost dead center.
    I like the effect of the fog, too but this really lacks subject matter. My eyes move about but never find a focal point.
    Needs leveling too.
    Keep Shooting!

    I've always loved shots of mist/fog over a field. Something about the fog makes it seem peaceful and serene. It's funny because as soon as I saw that picture, I thought of the marshes of southeast Georgia, then saw you're from north Florida.

    Re: foggy winter morning

    I am in agreement with F15 and Frog, this image is a nice idea but the execution is a little off. The image looks tilted, there doesn't seem to be a subject and the photo is split in half by the water/land transition.

    I think the foreground is more interesting than the sky so this would have better for me if you had pointed you camera a little lower.
    No, I DON'T need that.
