This is outstanding Fritz. It has an ethereal quality to it. It almost looks like you used IR on it. I love the BW treatment. That swirling mist on the water is awesome. I like that you can see the tree in attendance at this spotlighting too along with the ultra dark trees in the BG. Iā€™m sure there are some gators lurking in there somewhere. . .

Spooky gorgeously wonderful!! Otherworldly, with the beautiful hinted detail of the BG trees. And perfect for B/W!

It may just be me, but my eye gets pulled away by the bright water to the left. Wonder what you think of a vignette to put the magical tree in more of a magical spotlight?

Hi Fritz, This is quite a lovely image you have shared with us. The way you have captured the light is quite ethereal, it really makes the image. The B&W treatment is quite superb. Well seen, and processed!

Moody, mystical magic! You might burn down the brightest areas of the mist just a bit.
Stunning image!
