This looks like my kind of morning for a walk in the woods, Matthew. The mood with the fog is absolutely magical as everything has this lovely lush feel to it. This is just my opinion of course, but I think this is an instance where you included to much in the scene with the 18mm. I know this is a radical crop; and may not be what you had in mind; but the top half of the image is more interesting to me. I think the crop places more of an emphasis on that wonderful light and fog streaming in from the ULC. I am looking forward to seeing what else you came away with from that morning.
I like the comp and light here. The strong vertical creates a nice degree of tension. The color looks properly balanced, but Iām wonder if it might look better being a little cooler to better reflect the foggy conditions.
