This is a photo from Lolo Pass Road looking east into the Mount Hood Wilderness. This road is full of photo opportunities, but usually flowers in the spring and color in the fall. On this day though, the fog was adding nice definition to the forest.

I often find fog images difficult to hit the sweet spot. If I leave the contrast too low I lose enjoyable detail, but if too high I lose a lot of the fog. For this image, I’ve tried to add more detail to those foreground trees while leaving the thicker fog in the distance. (This effect was in the original, I’ve just emphasized it a bit.) Does that work here?
Any other thoughts and suggestions most appreciated.

John: I think you hit a home run with this one. The capture of the fog is spot on IMO and really leads the viewer deep into the scene. Really well seen and presented. >=))>
Hi John,
Well I for one think you hit the sweet spot with the fog. You have enough detail, but you also have an air of mystery as the BG trees fade away into the fog. I also think the high key look suites the B&W conversion beautifully. My only suggestion would be to remove that partial tree sticking into the frame in the LRC. Very nicely done IMO.
John, I think you got it right. The sense of depth is great, with the multiple layers of trees fading into the fog. Especially that last line, in the upper left, just barely peaking through.
