This is real nice. I am really liking the high key presentation and the mood it creates. I might play with the top darker section and experiment with brightening it a bit. Not sure it won't look better as is, but it would be fun to play with.

Thanks Harley, It was quite a bit darker above that layer of fog so I kind of wanted to keep that as it was. I'm not sure either if brightening it would be better but as you say it might be a fun one to play around with. Thanks much for your comment and thoughts on it. Nick

Love the high key look here. My personal preference would be to leave it as presented.

This looks very familiar, Nick. When MD gets lots of rain (or melting snow) the back water of a local water supply lake look very much like this with willows that are normally near the river/lake edge having their trunks submerged. The back lighting showing off the very young leaves and creating near silhouettes of the trunks looks great as does the glow off the water.

This has a mysterious, yet warm, spring-like feel to it. I like how you handled the light here. The light green leaves are nicely backlit, and the fog give this lots of depth. There's just a good feeling to this. Nice.

This works very well. I like both the high key presentation and the granularity of the light in the upper portion especially.

Very interesting textures in the leaves and dark trunks at the top of the image. Looks like a hard grad filter with that defined separation of tones. I would want to see more detail out of the bottom right area.

Thanks much to all of you for taking time to comment and giving me your thoughts on this.
Stephen, I can see that line looking like it could be from a grad filter as you mentioned, but it is just the difference in light from the fog layer that streaked across the water which I found pretty interesting.
Thanks all, Nick

The fog and high key lighting has certainly created a magical scene, Nick. I particularly like those back lit leaves up top as they stand out nicely against the slightly darker BG. I think this would make a lovely print.

Nick, to me you've peaked the brightness at a perfect level and not being so harsh you cannot see surrounding close detail. I also like the upper area and the collection of smaller leaf clusters there.
Interesting about the upper darkness. Almost looks like a grad there but not a nit at all.......

Thanks Ed and Paul for the comments. Nice getting your thoughts.
Paul, Stephen mentioned the same thing about looking like a grad line...and it does look like it could be from one. Actually it is just the difference of light at the top of the fog layer. It was bright where the early light was hitting the fog and darker where there wasn't any fog, or very light fog. Kind of a cool effect I thought. I'm glad you you guys liked it. Nick
