This is another image that I had posted recently that didn't make it into my gallery. This was taken last summer (2016) on the coast of Northern California, just north of Eureka.

Canon 6D, 24-105mm@35mm, f/22, 1/45 sec, ISO 500, tripod

Wonderful mood Igor.  I love images like this.  So peaceful and though provoking.

Our backyard!
Moody, misty, mysterious image with just enough detail to hold interest.
And the framing is nice!  enlightened

A quiet, calm, and mysterious beauty, Igor.  The grasses are positioned perfectly in the frame.  No nits from me..........Love it.

Great mood in this.  So simple and yet so elegant and calm.  It keeps pulling me in.
Excellent comp and processing, and excellent eye to see this.

A wonderful subtle and minimalist image to my eye. The blurred background balances the foreground grasses nicely for me.

Igor, this has a nice soft mood to it.  The contrast and tones look very nice.  Possible suggestions might be a slight 3-5% crop off the left, and there appear to be some lighter rinds/ripples in the darker reflection in the water center right that you might clone.

The minimalist treatment works for me.  Soothing yet mysterious.  The lightness of your processing helps give the feel of the lifting mist.  Really nice.

This is truly a wonderful image, Igor. It is simple and so effective, and I just love how fog can do that to a scene. Perfect processing on this too and the mood is just amazing. Quiet, peaceful and yet quite mysterious. Beautiful work and it will be a great addition to your gallery.

Works for me. Nice soft mood and subdued light and contrast. You might look at cloning some bits of sedge/grass in the lower left corner, though. For some reason, they grab my eye. You did a nice job on this one.

Fine minimalist take.  I like how the vertical lines and horizontal planes work together.

Love this Igor.  I  like the pano crop; works very nicely for this image. The fog/mist really shifts the attention back the grass, which I like.
