Questions to guide your feedback
As I’m sure everyone here knows, woodland photography can be very challenging, but a some foggy weather can make it easier. I really like how there is a touch of warmth from the morning sun. I also like how the tree line feels like it is protecting the rocky slope in the background.
While I like the little pyramid looking thing on the bottom right, I wish I would have moved left or right a touch to have it separated a bit more against the tree line.
Is there anything else you see that could be changed? What other thoughts do you have on this image?

Image Description
This is a seven image panorama stitched together in Lightroom.
This is wonderful Jason. I wish I was there with a nice chair, a little campfire, and a nice warm blanket. The mist is perfect with the warm light showing through. I thought for a minute you’d found one of the forest gnomes we’ve all heard about. I really like the little hill in the BG behind some of the trees. The only thing I would be tempted to do is to clone out the two sticks in the LRC.
I am loving the soft warm light you captured in this woodland image Jason. You are definitely right about woodland scenes being challenging to photograph. I like your pano format here and I am suggesting to take it even further and getting rid of most of the sky as it does catch my eye somewhat. I hope you do not mind, but here is a repost with what I was thinking. I would also get rid of that pyramid shaped object since it does merge with the tree. Just my opinions of course.
You found a very nice scene Jason and made a good impression of it. I can almost feel the cool, foggy air in your image. As the others who commented, I like the the soft light in the scene and the tranquility. I also like the crop suggested by @Ed_Lowe , which includes eliminating the sticks mentioned by @Ed_Williams .
Jason, A beautiful image which tell’s me a fine story of light and as @Han_Schutten says tranquility . I saw at first view two images. I made a repost of the in my eyes possibilities. Hope you like them.
The trees accented by the fog is a lovely combination Jason. I like all three suggested crops too; they isolate some of the magic. You have a lot to play with here!
