Ghostly and gorgeous through the fog and up the silhouetted tree trunks to the gradient of darkening shades in the tree tops. Very moody. A bit ominous, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some trolls in there someplace.

There is something very cool about how the closest trunks are pure black against the nice misty luminous background!

Very beautiful Tom - The blue color in this gives it such a pleasant mood, and you have a wonderful composition. Would work well in B&W too, but I think I woould like the color version better.

Excellent mood, Tom. The fog created a very pleasing layering effect from one tree onto the next beyond. If it were mine I'd be tempted to try cropping a bit off the top. Very nice wotk!

Well done Tom! The mood of blue and shadow with backlighting works very well.

The tone along with the lines create a quiet strength. Very peaceful image.

I like this. I wish the gradient left less dark at the top-brilliant image regardless

I hope one day soon, I will stand before a scene like this. The symmetry, density, light, atmosphere, and color are all just perfect here. Really nice shot!

Exquisite, Tom. Excellent separation of the trees... a wonderful comp. The fog creates such an evocative and mysterious mood. The blue mono toning is very well done and suites the image very well.
