I just love foggy conditions like this as it helps to simplify woodland scenes by eliminating distracting elements in the BG. This was captured one foggy morning a few years ago while on a camping trip in Shenandoah NP, VA with my wife. I particularly liked this grouping of trees as they seemed to have an air of mystery to them as the fog slowly swirled by.

### Specific Feedback Requested

All C&C welcome. This does have a little cast, but I decided to leave it as the fog was picking up the greens from the surrounding foliage. Should I leave it or try to make it a little more nuetral?

### Technical Details

Is this a composite: No  
Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200 @ 100mm, f 16 @ 1/20 sec, ISO 200, MLU, cable release & tripod.

Ed, this is very nicely ghostly. I like how you’ve emphasized that front tree by having it nearly centered. The “hints” of side branches, especially on the left make visual exploration a treat.
