Made this image of river Doubs in western Switzerland on an evening.
Used the common technique of blowing some moisture to create the mist.

Beautiful creative/artistic work here. Love the mystical mood. A scene from a fairytale.

The fog really makes this special. Love the subdued green tones.

Gorgeous - I would have guessed a shorter shutter speed by looking at the water, this speed works perfectly...

Balakumar,

Very dreamy! Great technique and such a beautiful scene to try it on. I just noticed, but the spot light hitting the rocks on the left shore is a very nice touch as well. Great work.

Excellent image, Balakumar. The soft light and the textures work great together in this.

The moisture from your breath has created a wonderful ephemeral mood here, Balakumar. The lush greens are also fantastic.

Beautifully done. I love the soft painterly look to this which seems very suitable for the landscape.
