Hello, Ben,  
beautiful foggy morning,  
I like the background a lot, but I have some questions about the foreground. I would have cropped it even more panoramically, eliminating the yellow grasses in the foreground.

There is beautiful light and nice misty layers in this image Ben. I like the green swale up on the right that leads my eye through the image. I find my eye wanting a path around the grass heads in front to allow access to the back of the image though, if that makes any sense. I do find the green and gold grasses in front to be really nice too.

Hi Ben,  
This is dripping with mood and the wonderful layers you created adds a nice sense of depth to this lovely scene. I too love those misty mornings. Beautifully done!
