A foggy day in Portland, so hoping to catch some interesting low clouds on Eagle Creek trail, Columbia Gorge. Pretty flat light but cool clouds.

A foggy day in Portland? Mist on Eagle Creek? I don't believe it that never happens.....

In all seriousness I love the green showing through the mist

Very moody image - knowing the area well, the greens are qunaturally saturated, but the flat light here minimizes that, so some added sat would help.
Compelling image and nice perspective -

Love the misty mood, the framing with the trees on the left, the sense of deep forest that comes with the trees appearing out of the mist and the distant falls.

Very moody and the light and cloud are near perfect. I'm a little undecided about the light area near the top. Image seems to work well when it's scrolled off.

Looks peaceful, and the fog really adds to the image. I agree that cropping the bright area at top would help, as it is so bright compared to the rest of the scene.

Hi Daniel. I really enjoy this! Wonderful mood with the mist and fog along with some light that worked great for this shot. The bit of glow it seems to have also looks really nice. The moss covered branches on the left side are a nice touch as well for me. Nice work!

Moody shot Daniel! No nits regarding aesthetic, but this could benefit from some sharpening. This is more noticable in the large version which looks a bit soft.

Lovely image Daniel. The mist above the falls really sets this off.
