This certainly has a painterly feel for me. I love the delicate colors enhanced by the fog. The straight on composition is done very well. Excellent image Michael. Chet

Something about fall colors in the fog that I always love. Dig this...right side is a bit cluttered compared to the clean comp of the rest of the image. Great find.

Lovely mood. I like the way the fog softens the colors and helps tame the bg. Really nice job

Like the others I love the mood here. There is just something magical about autumn foliage and fog. Could see maybe even brightening this up just a tad with some added contrast, but it's pretty nice as is.

A convincing capture of this autumn scene to me, Michael. The tangible textures of the leaves at the bottom draw my attention first, and then you lead me through the whole image following the trunks to the top and the kind of pathway into the depth. A large print will certainly reveal delightful details.

oooooh--this is just oozing with mood, great stuff! The left tree feels a tad strong/heavy to me, but that's a minor nit...excellent all around. :wavey:

Wonderful conditions, Michael, which you convey here very nicely. The lower contrast due to the fog in the latter half of the image adds really nice depth here. The two foreground trees frame the image nicely.
