A calm morning in Dolomites Mountains, Italy. Shot this one from Monte Cristallo, right in front of Rifugio Son Forca. Not much to be said, just a fleeting moment of beauty. Hope you like it. Any comments are appreciated.

Really cool and unusual image, Dorin. At first I actually thought there was a ton of noise, but it's actually the trees barely visible through the fog.

I thought the same thing as Matt--the tree highlites look like faux noise! Real cool shot, Dorin--the nice spacing of the trees really make this special!

You now I never get tire of these Dorin and of course you put your own cool twist on them creatively.
Love the bleeding of trees through the fog and the color temperature suits the scene nicely.

Great job

I've always wanted to shoot something along these lines. Love the simplicity and mood captured here. I particularly like how that one cloud formation helps highlight that prominent tree in the upper left third of the image. Well done!

I really like this, Dorin. It's moody and almost dreamlike. Sweet shot.

As you say Dorin, not much to be said. I think the shot speaks loudly for itself. You captured a great photo.

Oh this is magical, Dorin! You have such a knack for making these sorts of images, and I love them every time. The variation in density of the mist, the sparsity of the trees, and the way the rest of the forest is just barely visible is fantastic.

Dorin,

Powerfully simple. Almost hauntingly so. Very well crafted to pick this out from the bigger picture. Great work.
