The fog swirling about the Blackwater Canyon walls that day was nothing short of amazing. I usually carry an umbrella in my back pocket just for occasions like this, but it was pretty much useless with the wind blowing the light rain into our faces and onto the front element of the lens. Everything considered I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. ### Specific Feedback How does the saturation and contrast look to everyone? ### Technical Details Nikon Z 7, Nikon 100-400 @ 400 mm, f 11 @ 1/10 sec, ISO 200, Kase magnetic CPL, cable release & tripod. * * * ### Critique Template Use of the template is optional, but it can help spark ideas.

Ed, this is really sweet. I think the contrast and saturation look spot-on. I love the swirling clouds and that there are no hotspots in them. No nits to pick here. -P ---

Ed, you’re killing me with all these beautiful, moody autumn images. I love the interaction of the more saturated colors in the triangle of vegeation on the left with the less saturated foliage elsewhere. Of course, the clouds rolling through the scene and separating the ridges gives a nice feeling of depth. This is a winner in my book. ---

I think this is one of your stronger mist images. The composition is really well put together here with distinct ridge crossing ridge lines and patches of fog nicely distributed around them. The tones are so distinct here that I thought a b&w conversion would yield good results. I liked the result. You might want to try it. ---

The contrast and saturation look good. I think the layers of fog and mountains work very well in this composition. In these conditions the fog distribution is always changing. You picked exactly the right moment for this image. -Will ---

Ed, at first sight I have a strong association with fire and smoke - and then I am aware of the refreshing atmosphere you convey in this image. The two contrasting sides that are included in your image really bring it to life for me and keep my attention for a while. Regarding your request, saturation and brightness could be reduced a bit just the the very left part of the image. But this is only a minor matter for me and my personal opinion of course. I apprecitae your fantastic work as presented. Peter ---

This is kick a\*\*, Ed. Saturation and contrast look good to me. I love how the fog is in all the right locations. Rising behind the ridge lines, Emphasizing them and separating them from each other. This is your best one yet. ---

Ed, this is wonderful! You’ve got excellent depth with the three ridges and swirling fog along with some fine colors, especially in the middle ridge. ---

This is wonderful! I can feel the mood of the location. I also like the way the two hills balance the frame. ---

Late to chime in on this one, Ed but I agree with some of the others that this one is your best Fall colors in fog from Blackwater Canyon. I love the angles and depth you achieved with this composition with clear mid, foreground and background separation. The colors look great and although the fog is bright, I think it works great. I might crop a little off the top to eliminate the empty area in the ULC. Maybe just above the that red tree. ---

This really hits the sweet spot of mixing the clouds with the color, so I agree this is one of the better ones from this location. My only thought to play with, and it is likely just a personal preference sort of thing, is to reduce the contrast just a tad by opening the shadows a little. ![_DSC5821 copy 2](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/3/8/38ec1df57fb181fb61a4fa19668ea0f3a0093bf1.jpeg)
