Nice image. Really makes me wonder what is beyond the fog.

This has a great mood to it... I really like the blue tone you've given to this. If anything, I might consider a small crop in from the left side (to about the smallest tree trunk). My eye drifts over there a little too much. Again, very nice work.

Eric: the original slide has this blue tone, I didn´t enhance the blues.
About the crop...yes I may considered that

A classic concept, but perfectly executed. I like very much the blue monochrome. Well done!

P.S.: about elves, I'm sure it's only a matter of patience...

Cheers, Paolo

This is quite nice, Pedro. The blues definitely work here. My eye wanders all over the scene.

Cool shot. I would lighten just slightly.

What a mysterious mood you've set in this photo Pedro! The bluish cast makes this an awesome scene.

I really like this a lot. The blue theme works wonderfully. As has been stated, it is very mysterious and moody.

You created a wondeful mysterious mood with the fog and cool blue tones. This is a beauty, Pedro.

Love this low light fog shot, Pedro! Nice job of balancing the two dark trees in the composition. It feels very quiet and peaceful. Too bad you missed the elves

Hi Pedro!! I love this shot and the mood it conveys. I also use Provia and lots of times have to take out some of the blue but it definitely works here. Congrats!!
