The sun rises through a dense, thick layer of fog over the outskirts of Deland, Florida. This is on my way to work. This time of year, there is frequently quite heavy fog in the early morning. The fog hangs over the lakes and the rural fields longest. I work at a small community college campus outside of town.

Driving through this isn't such a bad way to start the day.

Greetings from the Critique Club

From one fog connoisseur to another - you have a fine photo here. The diffused light one can sometimes find in dense fog makes it all worthwhile. You saw this and made the most of it. Composition works well with the nice horizontal from left to right and good interest in the sky and filigreed branches.

You received a good, if not great, score for this exceptional image. (What no cow?) So, perhaps it was that some people considered it a loose tie-in with the Challenge, or perhaps some folks thought you used a filter that caused your score to be (imo) lower than it might have been.

Ma Nature does make the best filters of all, and you found one.

Continued good shooting and capture some more snake shots.

Is this a lensebaby? I'm not usually a fan of this type of effect, but in this case, I think it works well. And the almost monochromatic colours are effective too.

Good picture, but I don't see "country" in it. You could have shot this in the city just as well.

Interesting picture, but the flaring is not very attractive.
