Beautiful layers and depth. The veil of fog is masterfully rendered.

This has to be the winner. If not, it is the winner of this challenge in my book. What a lovely scene and just enough moodiness to really take it to the next level. Perfect example of what in my mind is a fine art shot.

Originally posted by ikopanas: I did not vote this one high, mostly because of the light! I d prefer the shadows to be less shadowed and the lit area on the shot to be less highlighted. And for sure the right area of the shot gives me the feeling of a line that seperates the environment! Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for stopping by to comment on my image. I agree with everything you said and figured that the harsh light was the reason for lower voting. I also noticed the line on the right side of the image and figured somebody would request the proof to see if I shopped it that way. I seem to get that line allot when shooting stuff like this where sawgrass meets water. I've got to figure out a way to fix that... Thanks again...
