 I wanted to use the fantastic conjonction of sun rising and a thick mountain fog to create something moody. I included myself from a shot i took minutes after this one, as the light was coming back. Mixing the two looked easy but took me some time to create a realistic composition. I hope i did it relatively well, but my question is more about the atmosphere. I know it's a subjective topic, but if i could know what people feel when they look at this shot and my interpretation of it, it could be a huge tool for my progress.

Best Regards from France.

A beautiful and moody image. I am not sure voters connected with the dizzy theme. I look forward to more from you.

Sébastien - It's definitely moody and I gave it a 8. For me, I get a sense of cold and damp, perhaps even eerie stillness. Not so "dizzy" though, although I do recall the completely disorienting sensation of snow blindness where fog and snow blend to completely deny any sense of direction. A bit more fog and this might bring a similar sensation. Regardless, it's a great image and you handled the blending composite well.

Wonderful, atmospheric picture. I guess you could get a sense of dizziness if you knew you were on treacherous terrain and the fog closed in. One of my top picks.
