I like the light and misty atmosphere Bill. Nice back light on the trees.

You handled the exposure really well here. I like your comp with the layers of different tones. The clouds do add such a nice touch of drama and mood.

Magical lighting and depth. I have been admiring your country from afar through le Tour's coverage. Some place you live!

Beautiful light with wonderful mood, Bill. I like how the fog helps the foreground trees stand out well against what would otherwise be a busy background.

Bill, This works really nice! You captured this under some wonderful conditions and made the very best of them. The large version is extra nice showing more overall detail and texture. Really enjoy the feel and mood of this.

Very nice light and mood enhanced by the fog. Interesting to me how the succession of trees in the foreground is arranged, against the fogged silhoettes in the back. Rightmost portion of the tree breaks the sequence a bit, but it it not a big deal. Very nice, I love these central European landscapes , makes me want to visit the places again and again.

Love the layers and the golden glow of sun fighting through the clouds/mist. Excellent.

Bill, your composition with the fog and diverse layers is really story telling to me. Perfect exposure and processing to my eye.

The fog and warm light make this one really moody and interesting - nice.
