Early morning in Leidig Meadow, the mist was rising with coming of the sun.

I really like the mood created by the fog and the subdued tones. Nice curves in the trunks, too. This is definitely growing on me.

The early morning ground fog definitely gives it a special mood, and I also like the subtle colors. Beautifully presented Preston.

I like the inclusion of the granite faces behind, but I also like it with a crop off of the top to make it more about the trees. The rising mist adds that very nice atmospheric mood to the scene as well. My preference would be for more saturation, but that's just what it is, my preference. The color looks natural as is. Beautiful image.

Your images always seem to have a very natural, unforced feel and this is no exception. Wonderful soft light,color and graceful composition.

This is so nice, Preston. Wonderful composition and the soft light and rising mist added the perfect look and mood. Beautifully quiet and peaceful.

The crop that Morris mentioned also works very nice with this, but I like it just as it is too.

I love the mood with the mist and the details are incredible; particularly in the large version. A very beautiful and calming image, Preston.

I like the sense of changing season here and how each individual leaf seen to be operating on it's own rhythm.

i'm seriously enjoying the bottom third of this image. the transition from fog to bright air is interesting but the bottom third really has me.
